This is kind of morbid, but how about a DU "office" pool

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

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.

The Titanic sunk, Waco, OKC bombing, Lincoln assassination, Boston Marthon bombing, Columbine....I will take April, specifically between the 14th and 20th, 2017.

I think trump will do something to crash the economy or something so bold that people start leaving the US in droves.

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?
