Trump has been adamant about the need for America to win wars and their "spoils". I think he is now priming the country for that eventuality.

I don't know how much prepping of the public he's doing, other than increasing some funding and some incoherent speeches. I think right now the US is in holding pattern, hoping one of America's "evil" enemies makes a mistake- see NK, Iran, even Russia.
Once they make a move, then he'll be justified to strike back, get the war machine going even MORE than now, and yes take the riches from the conquest. I just didn't know he'd openly declared that they're going to pillage Iran for their oil!
I highly doubt the US (public) has the appetite to START any conflicts right now, and the President (or his team) likely know that. I don't disagree that there will be a Trump war, I just think they're trying to manage optics as best they can before starting it up, but many smart people can see through that.
