Trumps tweets and threats; ie Iran and Pakistan, seem more like Fatwahs than anything else.

Has trump become a secret radical Islamic extremist? I don’t have a problem with that if he has. I do have many problems with almost everything else about him, but that wouldn’t be one of them. As ineffectual as he is he wouldn’t be much of a danger as a radical Islamic extremist.

He seems to see himself as some sort of omnipotent potentate who makes disturbingly grandiose proclamations. He has a small faction of hardline boot licking acolytes who slurp at his every utterance and are willing to behave in bizarre ways totally unhinged, irrational and detrimental to their own wellbeing.

So given those elements of his, quite predictable behavior, is he a secret radical Islamic extremist?
Or just a Russian plant who channels idiocy as a side effect of being roundly ridiculed in respectable places?
