Is he deliberately trying to create his Reichstag Fire on Obama's watch?

the idiots that voted for this guy are plain stupid.
No doubt about that.
However, we aren't.
We know that the goobers in this country who think that the rest of the world "understands" his learning curve.
They don't.
You can bet your ass that there are meetings behind closed doors on this subject.
I have no doubt that trump will launch a nuke. He has a hardon for that kind of ultimate power.
Pretty sure that I am not alone in this thinking.

he rules everything.

So as a nation, we are at the top of the totem pole and it's clear Trump is happy to sit at the very top as king. I don't know that he and his administration want to start a conflagration that could either 1) put more distance between us and the next countries down, or 2) has the potential to reorder everything, screw everything up, and who knows what the totem order will be.

So is he that crazy to risk #2 in order to get #1? Does he have any self control when it comes to concentrating wealth and power in his own hands?

I'd like to think he's not that much of a gambler. HOWEVER....there are many other countries and organizations that don't like their spot on the totem pole....these are the ones meeting behind closed doors to take advantage of a scary, unpredictable, shallow, hot-head of a POTUS. He will be tested.
