The world really will have dodged a bullet if this idiot is out of office without committing genocide.

Mister Yuck - 2019-07-30 I think of fascism as more of a specific scam to gain power than an ideology of what to do with that power. Trump is a fascist because he's trying to divide the country into sides and convince his side that the others are so evil that anything he does is justified to oppose them.
Trump will absolutely go to war if it serves his short term interest. He will do absolutely anything to serve his short term interest.

Binro the Heretic - 2019-07-30 If FOX News rallied Trump's base to loudly voice approval of a nuclear strike on Iran, Trump would do it to clinch their votes.
We live in dangerous times.

Trump loves to scare people with his awesome power, but ultimately, a major war would require him attending a whole lof briefings and meetings. I just can't see it.

Binro the Heretic - 2019-07-30 What, you think he's going to sit there and pay attention or some shit?
Didn't you see him in that other video with all those people trying to relate tales of horrible religious persecution? Did he look bothered to you?

SolRo - 2019-07-30 He would love to sit in those meetings, because all the relevant departments are now staffed by loyal political sycophants.
It would just be hours of the leeches telling trump how smart and powerful he is.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2019-08-01 If you can say you read a book because you listened to the audio version (according to NPR, that's permitted) then I've read four books about the Trump presidency, a couple of them more than once, and the picture that you get is a little more nuanced. Trump is indeed surrounded by flatterers, but nobody wants him to go to war, least of all himself. In the words of Michael Wolff in SEIGE: TRUMP UNDER FIRE, which I expecially reccomend, "Modern War is data-driven.", and he doesn't have the patience."
Look at it the other way. If an actual war is on Trump's agenda, what's the holdup? Is he showing restraint? Carefully manipulataing world events before making his move? Also, any leader who wants to avoid war with the US knows he only has to stoke Trump's ego, and not very much. The dude loves dictators like Milo Yianopolous loves black dudes.
Anything's possible, of course, but if we see a war during Trump's tenure, it's much more likely we'll see it in the streets of Washington.
