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?

Throughout History, inducing a Terrorist attack and/or faking it yourself, have been age-old and time-tested successful strategies for circumventing Democracies and consolidating Dictatorial power.
Initially my thought was...Drumpf wants to start a war because then he has excuses to hand out lucrative government defense contracts to his buddies and probably take some kickbacks on those.
But I feel like there has to be more to it than that, but at the same time, Trump isn't that crafty. I tend to believe that Trump is genuinely thicker than pig s###. So...its hard to derive motivation without knowing who the real puppet-master is and what they want.
IMO Trump is the Monkey, I want to know who the Organ Grinder is.
