I'm not worried Trump will bomb a US city, not even one he doesn't like. The military wouldn't do it. He might try to goad one or more of his crazies to do a little domestic terror, but even that's a stretch, and it wouldn't accomplish anything for him. He just enjoys seeing other people squirm.

I know that. Sorry I wasn't clear enough with my comment; I wasn't talking about missile attacks. I was thinking about a lone wolf "terrorist" linked to the middle east that would provide Trump with an excuse. He likes to shoot first and blame later.

I am calm. I'm not talking about missiles; I know they don't have that capability. I'm thinking about a lone wolf terror hit in one of those cities, which has happened before and is possible. I'm not freaking out, just considering his words along with his apparent mindset & long history of actions.

At the end, he says "We're not gonna let them hit our cities" but his soliloquy "Let them hit L.A." (and San Diego twice?) sounds a lot to me like he's hoping they'll hit cities he doesn't like so he'll have a happy excuse to go bigger on them. I do hope I'm wrong, but that seems to be his pattern.

He said it again today, and more. I really think he wants them to hit US cities because that's how he'll get "permission" and support for obliterating Iran, maybe even with nukes. It's something I never would have considered he'd do until seeing his actions this term. Weird. He feels invincible.

Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.

It's possible to do both at the same time. And more. If a vicious mob burns down your town, the community needs to find & punish the bad guys, install better protections for the future, and rebuild more robustly, using better materials & people with competent wisdom. That can happen simultaneously.
