8. The reason is chaos. It is always the game plan of Trump and Putin

Under cover of chaos, they can do all the other things they don't want people to see. Like, how much money have the Trump people made by trading on Trump's stock market manipulation, and investing in defense companies just before they get new contracts?

And it also goes back to Trump's 2011 tweet about Obama. Trump believes that start a war automatically leads to popularity. It worked for W Bush big time (and GHW Bush to an extent). But in those cases, the Presidents made a big effort to explain that to the public and the public generally saw those wars as just and necessary. Trump is a moron. In his mind, it is the command of power that makes a President popular. And the opposite is true. Americans see a RECKLESS command of power, and they hate that.

But there are reasons. Not intelligent reasons. Not valid reasons. But reasons in that demented brain of Trump.
