Stop trying to complicate things. He is using the military now to go after drug cartels all over the world, his next move will be to use the military in every city to replace law enforcement.

Going to war in Iran is about showing off his power, he doesn't give a shit what the results are.

A lot of unwashed Magats are going to have trouble filling up the gas tanks of their pickup trucks.
