Why Trump invites a terrorist attack.

Trump needs enemies to frighten Americans. The more his claims to governing fall apart the more he needs to turn attention to "enemies".

Now he has invited ISIS to attack the US, because he can blame the attack on the judiciary. ISIS will be glad to take up his invitation because they will be happy to help Trump who has boosted their recruitment with his Muslim ban and his botched raid on Yemen.

The more he fails at governing, the more dangerous he will be.

But he's definitely increased the odds of something happening at some point. So, if he doesn't "want" another 9/11, he better make a bunch of changes.

Obama's term in office. We knew that a Republicans would turn it into 1000 Benghazi's. Now we hold our breath again because the asshole in the White House is already creating the meme that the Left will be to blame if a terrorist attack happens during his presidency. Sadly, 50% of this country will believe the asshole.

Whatever happens there will be complications from having such close ties to real enemies.
