I have been trying to think about the end game of all that. Like, what rationality would you come up with to do all of this if not to induce a terrorist attack.
Then Trump illegally bombs Iran, and threatens more if they don’t capitulate entirely. They seem to be goading an attack on US soil. Is the thinking that they can ram through more domestic spying like Bush did after 9/11?

He's too dumb and shortsighted for something like that.
He only wants to fund what he both understands and likes, and those are both very small circles even before you start looking at where they overlap.
