PLAN-Start A Big War Before November To Save GOP. Blame Democrats For Being Against Natl. Defense.

To save himself and the GOP Trump could start a war. Rally the troops. Call for patriotic duty to support the war, homeland defense, and the troops. Then hang the Democrats for being anti American before the election if they don't agree to go along.. Unleash the RW hate media. Then the MSM will cheer lead because it helps ratings and profit. The picture of bombs falling cruise missile launches, aircraft flying off carriers make great copy.

The press loves a Big War. Now, where will Trump find a foreign secret service with the manpower and resources to set off an attack directed at anm American target attributed to some third country? Hmmm... Can you say KGB?

Even my conservative friends are tired of war and 2 of the more moderate ones thought Hillary more likely to start a war which influenced their votes.

Never said they were smart. But fairly non political decent guys.

Lots of people just do not follow this shit like we do.

No matter what Mueller against Trump, congress will not touch Trump if he takes us into war.

North Korea has nuclear bombs, and Iran has heavy anti-aircraft military assets. People won't be so happy when tens of thousands of American soldiers start coming home in coffins.
