Since mister Trump was called out to do illegal things with his tariffs by the US Supreme Court, I suppose the war instrument is what he still has to show power.

He has literally grown drunk on power. He doesn't look to the endgame (that is, what will the consequences be to country) but looks at his legacy, on how he will be remembered in the history books. He wants to make grand gestures. He wants to be on Mt. Rushmore. He wants his name splashed all over every monument in this country.

We are in a dangerous place. Not only do his actions bring death and destruction to many, but he is destroying our Constitution. I'm not sure this is a harm that can ever be undone. We will soon, I fear, be in the position of those people he is seeking to save, people who are now living under a dictator.
