I agree with Mika- I'm pretty much terrified of what trump* will do to deflect from yesterday's news

I don't follow his tweets, but the longer he is silent, the more I envision him making some deranged plans to knock everyone off of their pins.

As long as his name is somewhere in the news he calls fake he seems to be satisfied. A day without Trump may be glorious but for him is a personal failure.

If Trump tries to start a diversionary war will the generals quietly refuse? A soldier can refuse to follow an order if it is to perform an illegal action.

His entire act is mere bluster.

Oh he will take a security clearance or two. But you see that's just bluster. He will tweet non-stop but again that's just bluster. His entire life and career is built on bluster.

He talks a good game, and he has what he's always desired, he got into a place where the whole world listens to everything he says. But he doesn't ever DO anything.

His lackeys do the dirty work. The long time GOP use his Presidency to strip laws and protections from America and Americans. But the fact is Donald merely talks, threatens, postures. It's all Bullshit. And it ALWAYS has been.

As President he is in a position to do damn near anything. But Donald Trump is a craven coward. A man who should have been horse whipped a long time ago. Do not fear Donald Trump. He is contemptible, not worthy of your fear.

A minor side-story concerning Omarosa illustrates your point succinctly. In her recording of her phone call with Trump, he says he didn't know anything about her firing. He said, "They run a pretty big operation over there." They?! He thinks that he can deflect responsibility?

The fact is, Chief of Staff Kelly would not fire someone that close to Trump without Trump's knowledge.

Trump is a coward.

In my opinion, he may deflect from the murder of the Iowa girl and do something very dramatic and controversial.
