Trump Says: "Hey, Gang! I Know! Let's Have A War! Cool, Huh?"

So, Trump twits China with tariff talk to get that ol' trade war heated up. Then he sends a big-ass aircraft carrier to threaten Iran. Finally, he sends a couple of other aircraft carriers to Venezuela. One of those is bound to get something started.

See, people like wars. They vote for Presidents who start wars. The thinking is that you don't want to change horses right in the middle of a war. That's what someone told Donwald one time.

Besides bombs and guns and cruise missiles are a great way to get people's minds off whatever scandal is current.

Plus, who would impeach a President in the middle of warfare?

Yes, indeed. Trump knows what works. And now that he's started things moving, it's time for a week off at Merde a GoGo.

He’ll give orders for half the troops to go to Venezuela, half to go to the South China Sea, and the other half to be under Jared’s control and go to sanctuary cities.
