Billions.
He has long made it clear that his deepest desire is to use nuclear weapons and go down in history for it.
His diseased mind does not distinguish between fame and infamy. He does not actually care either way.

To the sick mind of Trump, using the ultimate weapon is strength.
To normal thinking humans, the knowledge exists that NOT resorting to nuclear weapons is TRUE strength.

That is not happening right now, and probably won't. Sadistic monsters control the world. Opposing forces are weak or small.

Trump, Putin, and Xi have decided to slice up the world. The bluster is just that: theatrical bluster.

The plan is a world divided in to these three domains, at least IMO.

To think that a 79 year old would be making such plans. Notwithstanding heinous ulterior motives.
