Or will the Trumpmeister keep with the GOP traditions of starting a war and blowing a trillion dollars? At this rate, Trump will be able to get all of his friends in the weapons industry a huge financial payout with a world war.

Probably not. I'm just hoping for a small adversary that doesn't have nukes.

Well if you and the other anti-Trumpers here paid any attention to the campaign, you would have noticed that Trump is the anti-Bush--going to war is the last thing on his mind or in his philosophy, in fact he's got a lot of habitual armchair warriors worried that he won't be aggressive enough (at least militarily). Oh, and weren't you guys ready to declare war on Russia a little while back?

That's more Trump's style : going after low hanging fruit.

Trump is the most militaristic man imaginable according to his own words. And we should take him at his word. Not going to war will be seen as weakness, and huge numbers of his supporters will be the easiest to convince that war is necessary.

The President controls troop movements, the last liar in chief had the ability to bring the troops back but didn't. Lairs gonna lie.
The hypocritical left suddenly caring about troop movements and staying out of foreign conflicts now that a repub is in the white house. gee go figure.

Steve Bannon’s Long Love Affair With War

Steve Bannon, the National Security Council’s newest member, has long been obsessed with waging wars.

Trump’s Foreign-Policy Appointees Are Set to Provoke War With Iran

The trio of generals who have so far joined Donald Trump’s national security team—Mike Flynn as national security adviser, James Mattis as secretary of defense, and John Kelly as secretary of homeland security—along with Representative Mike Pompeo as director of the CIA, have unnerved official Washington and leaders around the world. From North Korea to the South China Sea, from the Mexican border to Syria, they’re a cohort likely both to facilitate and to encourage Trump’s instinct for confrontation and bellicosity, and their out-of-the-mainstream approach, even extremism, in military and intelligence affairs is unprecedented in recent US history.

You don't believe him when he said he's going to stay out of nation building? Is it because the last 2 lied?
