Don't know what the prize will be, because, in the end, if anyone wins the pool, we all lose as a nation.
Here's the pool: Pick the date that Trump physically attacks something to do with Iran or China. Just Iran or China. Not twitter insults or rambling general nonsense. "Attack" means bombs, missiles, heavy guns/artillery; drones count. "Something to do with" includes actual land mass, territorial holdings, ships. Any quantity. Any type of weapon.
I'll start: July 4, 2017

(34,195 posts)I can see him shooting at some of those Iranian patrol boats,
but I hope even 'the Donald' isn't stupid enough to shoot at anything Chinese.

(4,517 posts)but I don't give it much longer than his 1st 100 days before he attacks someone, specifically China or Iran. As for people leaving in droves? The days of leaving at all are numbered. You don't think he really wants that wall only to keep people out do you?
