I wish all you anti-Trumpers would get on the same page. Most of the time your side is claiming he did this as a distraction. Some of the time you claim this, that he's doing it to win the election.

Well, which is it? Or is it your belief that he's trying to distract his way into a second term by starting a war?

The real point is, he doesn't have to do that. "It's the economy, stupid." Carville & Clinton, 1992
