    Trump's backbone is actually recklessness. He could quite possibly end up starting a war with Russia over Ukraine because his "backbone" won't let him do otherwise.

      Oh, please don't tell me you're jumping on the "Trump will start World War 3!" band wagon.

      Besides, old Joe is already doing everything he can to send us down that path himself.

        With Trump it's pretty hard to know what he will do. He could just as easily decide to toss Ukraine to the wolves. Or he could talk Putin into leaving Ukraine. But if it becomes a staring contest between Putin and Trump, neither will back down.

          That's what we heard throughout his first term, but in reality, Trump did more to promote peace in the world than any other modern president, and I do not believe for a moment that he would start a war just to satisfy his ego.

            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.

              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.

                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.

                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.

                  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.

                      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.

                        I can't imagine Trump ever taking criticism well, although he has made fun of his funky hairdo before.
