Especially since he bonded over the orb with the Saudi Arabian leadership so well. Why screw that up? They might be good to spot him a few billion if he hits a rough spot.

off the left. Another outrageous act to get attention, damned the consequences. He has no moral world view.

Trump Needs a Holy War
It's an inconceivably scary thought that the Trump administration is simply winging it, breakneck, disrupting and detonating and taking America apart - and all of it without a plan. But here's the even scarier possibility - that there is, in fact, a plan.

See, terrorists attack us for no good reason. We've never done anybody wrong, and nobody has any reason to hate us. The 9/11 attacks that struck the financial and military centers of our country was mere coincidence. The terrorists could just as well have bombed Mom & Pop's Corner Grocery or Leo's Gun and Shootin' Emporium, because they're unreasoning maniacs. If there are renewed and more vicious attacks after the Jerusalem ploy, it will be because terrorists are just bad people, who don't have any reasons at all to hate America.
