So TV analysts the nation over told us for months that Trump "doesn't want war." Fresh off researching PROOF OF CONSPIRACY for a year—a book about Trump's Iran policy—I said the analysts were wrong and that Trump was totally prepared for war. Today he said he was "okay" with war.
1/ I heard someone on CNN say yesterday, "no one wants war." Yes, "no one"... except *every new ally Trump has developed in the Middle East*—most of whom Trump's campaign was *secretly negotiating US foreign policy with* during the 2016 campaign in *contravention of federal law*.
2/ I don't know whether Trump wants war "in his heart" because a) he lacks one and b) in place of a functioning human organ he has a political calculator—and who knows if he thinks war aids him or not. But I *know* what the autocrats he *owes* want to see happen. *That* is clear.
3/ Here's what's coming: Trump will use the threat of war—mind you, a threat against the *people of America*, who don't want war—to push his "grand bargain" and "Middle East Marshall Plan" with Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel. Which he illegally negotiated pre-election.
4/ Trump has a history of *creating crises*, then "resolving" them in a way that lets him do what he always *wanted* to do. We have seen that in North Korea, Russia, Israel, the Middle East, and elsewhere. He will either actually go to war or use that threat in a similar fashion.
5/ We'd normally call what Trump is doing "the long con," but Trump is running *so many simultaneous cons on American voters* that really it's a "short con," as practically every single day one or another of Trump's "long cons" is coming to fruition—to the detriment of America.
