Besides, old Joe is already doing everything he can to send us down that path himself.Last edited by Mountain Man; 03-22-2023, 09:30 AM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

No I don't think he would start a war to satisfy his ego. But his narcissism and stubbornness would not allow him to back down or compromise if Putin threatens to use nukes if the US gives Ukraine fighter jets for example. Trump would send over fighter jets just to prove Putin doesn't scare him.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

I really don't think he would. Trump might be considered "reckless" when compared to the usual brand of spineless politician who makes decisions based on which way the winds of popular opinion are blowing, but he's not stupid, and I really couldn't see him needlessly provoking Russia just to prove he's not scared of Putin.
As far as warmongering, I really don't see it. Again, since he is reactionary, he wouldn't sit still if he felt the US was being abused, but neither do I see him trying to start a fight.

We've seen Trump in action. He's not really a provocateur but more of a reactionary. He tries to work with people first, even with adversaries, and then gets childish and surly if he doesn't believe they negotiated in good faith. Like, he started out complimenting Pelosi, but quickly switched to hostility when she badmouthed him publicly.

Lots of problems with those AI photos. Mainly, the cops chasing him appear to be looking or chasing someone else off camera. The one above, the cop on the right almost appears to be running with Trump, not after him.

Narcissists want everyone to love them, because they are so great (in their own heads), but when someone disagrees with them or says anything negative about them, they become overtly hostile and go on the attack. So basically you have to walk on eggshells around them. As long as you feed their ego they are fine. Just don't tell them they are wrong.
