Let's see, Reagan invaded tiny Grenada to detract attention from the Iran/Contra mess. HW Bush started Desert Storm to detract from his "read my Lips" mess. "W" used Weapons of Mass Destruction to detract from his mess. Will Trump use a WAR to detract from his MANY mis-steps? Let's hope to god not. especially with China. FWIW is there a pattern here?
