      He also URGENTLY needs a new warring enemy, someone who fights back.

      This to completely overshadow the interest in his epstein-misdeeds (investigators are closing in on connections between his child-pageant-business and the epstein files) And he needs to be able to cover the economic woes with the “It’s war!” excuse.

      Trying to hide official economic numbers and sing praise on a pink cloud only works right up until the full populace realizes their finances are not getting better at all and everything is getting steep price hike upon steep price hike.

      Venezuela’s oil fields have been on America’s radar long before Trump. The only things Trump is thinking of is crap like a ballroom and renaming the Kennedy Center.

      As you say, the rest has been jammed in his brain.
