people say he "chickens out". "Yeah, who's the chicken now?"
Despite the masquerade of being a "peacemaker and ender of wars", I always knew Trump wouldn't hesitate to start something if he felt his toughness was in question.
I remember discussing it online with an intransigent Trump supporter during the primaries, who claimed Trump was the best GOP candidate because all the rest were neocon tools of the MIC. I told them, "you're not fooling anyone", no matter what you say about not starting new wars, you'd cheer for any military action, if Trump decides to pursue one. And looking at some of the right wing sites, that's exactly what's happening
