1. i think he's itching to use a nuke

my theory is that he gave the state department to exxon and in exchange, tillerson promised him he'll have a chance to push the button.

[MBS]

2. Where is the approval/disapproval poll from?

Pew? Gallup? Quinnipiac? Other?

[Fast Walker 52]

4. I think it's Gallup-- someone else had posted it here today

[MBS]

12. Thanks.n/t

[Fast Walker 52]

3. Yes, I think he'll try... it's the age-old method

but I bet he won't even be able to do that properly

[elleng]

5. He and kim.

[Calculating]

6. Yes

Most likely with NK.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. By the end of this week

struggling to type, the ads make it almost impossible

[jmowreader]

13. That black ad with the flashing thing in it can be closed

[Eliot Rosewater]

22. Yes, and that is the only way, almost every time screen changes it comes up...bummer

[Bradical79]

8. I'd be surprised if he didn't

Even mainstream Republicans LOVE pushing for war, and Trump is more power hungry than all of them.

[BainsBane]

9. 37

He's dropping fast.

[Kimchijeon]

10. I think he would love it, and scarily I think Bannon wants it too

I hope not, I really hope this does not happen.

[wishstar]

11. Down the road, if investigations get intense, with financial revelations, he will in desperation

Anything is possible to distract or cover up his corruption and complicity since Congress would fall in line behind laying off criticism or actions against him as it would be considered weakening USA to tear down the President in time of war

[beachbum bob]

14. A war is going to be started requardless

Dark forces of Breitbart...Are in control

[Hortensis]

21. They're not in control, just grabbing and tugging

at the wheel whenever Rump doesn't elbow them away. But they might manage to start a war. Rump may or may not know it, may be a bit more afraid now that it's more real than before, but I strongly suspect he'll want to put all those new armaments he insists we need to work.

Even more powerful an incentive, of course, would be the political and economic benefits that would accrue to Republican cronies, i.e, buying the support he badly needs from wannabe kleptocrats.

But they haven't accomplished it yet.

[NurseJackie]

15. It would surely DISTRACT ... but would it INCREASE his approval ratings?

[mn9driver]

16. Next stop, Iran.

China won't tolerate a war on the Korean Peninsula.

Iran, on the other hand, will give him a bump. For a little while.

[Charles Bukowski]

17. It's possible, but it would backfire on Gump spectacularly.

He's already considered untrustworthy and incompetent by a majority of Americans.

The last president who started a war of choice saw his approval ratings sink from 90% to the high 20s.

No way would Gump recieve the public's support on this.

[smirkymonkey]

18. He's going to light the world on fire.

It will be the last desperate act of an angry, frustrated old man.

[brooklynite]

19. This assumes a measure of strategic thinking that Trump has never exhibited.

[workinclasszero]

20. Its in the works even as we speak

The saber rattling and war drums over NK are to obvious.
