I Bet Trump Is Eagerly Awaiting Some Act of Violence...

...to give himself a fig leaf of justification to begin promoting the banning of Muslims, persecution of Latinos, or stop and frisk of minorities. His speech pretty much lays down the markers. Now, it is just a waiting game, as he sits back, blows of security briefings, and eagerly awaits the next opportunity to act as a demagogue. Or, perhaps pick a fight with China, while inciting racist attacks on Asian Pacific Americans at home. Trump will govern the way he campaigned, and draw strength from his ability to divide.

The original Star Trek had a great episode that dealt with hate and anger, "Day of the Dove", Season 3 Episode 7.

If you were a terrorist out to strike at the heart of America and make a name for yourself, wouldn't you want to hit a building with TRUMP on the side of it?



To me, it seems like he is just asking for it.

I predict he will take putins bait once he's bored. putin says, "can't do it without Americas 'help'

Though trump may not notice, he's had to keep on 50 of Obamas top management in that area because he's not even close to finishing transition.
