Any war would do and meanwhile, he had Netanyahu giving him all sorts of options in regards to Iran.

A huge diversion was necessary and Trump is a master of diversions, even though he tends to be terribly obvious. He could end up destroying life as we know it in his over-the-top attempts to divert public attention from his crimes and corruption.

How can so many let one pitiful little man do so much damage in such a short period of time?
