    Dawg is he actively trying to launch into an actual emergency or war to try to hold on to power? Looks like it.

      Yeah. He tried to get into a war with Iran in term 1. He “predicted/projected” Obama would start a war to increase his polling to get reelected. So we know he thinks this way

      He is trying to create a justification for enacting martial law and increased control over the domestic population. “Venezuelan gangs” are simultaneously the excuse for blowing up civilian boats while also being the excuse for making ICE increasingly militant.

      He seemingly wants to recreate the conditions of WWII where the military was used to round up Japanese-American people into concentration camps. Except this time it is to round up Latinos. For now they go after undocumented immigrants. Then start the war. Then round up anybody who is brown by labeling them as gang sympathizers
