He probably knows this is a crazy plan, but since he's infallible, he can't back down now. There must be someone in his advisors pushing this, otherwise his short attention span might let him just forget about it.

...more than that, he's going to want a big diversion when it starts rolling back on him.

I've always thought that he's regretted not deploying the military forces on a large scale mission in his last term, to hold Americans hostage to that self-interested and aggrandizing enterprise.

Much like Bush did with Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's sad, and hopefully not tragic, that he's oblivious to the folly almost everyone in the world recognizes for the U.S. to wade back into conflict which was once perpetuated by our adversaries as deliberate bait to keep our troops fighting and dying there at enormous expense and sacrifice.

No one could make up a character like him. There are so many psychological disorders running free in his head. That’s why his makeup shades alternate. One is white, one is yellow, can’t skip orange or bronze.

...which is marked by these daily delusions of grandeur, coupled with a need to saitiate that psychosis with more and more grandious actions.

He thinks he owns America because of the election, and he's looking to trade us in for a newer, musky model. To Trump, we're all to be subject to his every will and whim without recourse, like servants.

He wants locking up in an institution. He thinks he's fucking King George! He was mentally ill, as well.

In 1778 George lapsed into a months-long period of violent insanity. He was restrained with a straitjacket and suffered various treatments as crisis of rule unfolded around him. He recovered the next year and reigned for the next 12... wiki

...maniacally so.

Not only is this the very definition of ethnic cleansing it would paint a huge target that can be seen from the ISS on our nation and citizens living abroad. I still don't believe it will actually happen. There will likely be token moves but nothing more is my prediction. I could be wrong though.

...pathology of a life of privilege without consequences.
