I see him sitting in the oval office,
wanting to use the power at his use.
Thinking, "Who can I bomb?"
As he's said about nukes: "We have 'em, why can't we use 'em?"

If the news starts covering the Russian coup, he'll definitely want to change the narrative.

(10,269 posts)Is that he will start with ISIS in Syria. The sitting regime there is an ally of Russia (it's why Putin started the air campaign--he just needed to make sure the US and Obama didn't rain on his parade; mostly, he got what he wanted). American air power allied with the Assad govt and Russia (and against the rebels who want Assad gone...dont worry, Trump wont know the difference and wont care because Putin will be telling him theyre all ISIS) will be a welcome asset to a ground war that Putin can't win without mostly massive amounts of civilian casualties, as well as Russian Regular Army. If I had to bet, I'd say 6 months of air to ground assults, somebody shoots back and then Trump decides it's time to get real and the USArmy (rah rah and all that) gets to deploy to another ground war in the mideast, this time on behalf of a foreign power that doesn't like us to prop up a regime (Assad) that, had Obama had the actual power to remove without blowing another Iraq size hole in the mideast, would have stepped down at least 2 years ago.
Russia is the historical ally of both Damascus and Tehran. Putin will use the shit out of President idiot to increase the regional power of those alliances at the full expense of the American Army and Airforce. Why shouldnt he, if he can get away with it?
My 2 cents, and nothing more.
