Do you think tRump would start a war(as a distraction)?

He is getting desperate therefore he is trying to destroy just about anything and everything as he sinks into a personally terrible time for him (his mental/physical decline can't be hidden any longer) and his poll numbers are tanking with his constituents. That's all it takes to "get even" with the country as a whole.

He is a vengeful psychopath and destroying part of the White House is the tip of the many desperate actions he is very capable of doing.

Right now I'm trying to be realistic and prepared, at least as much as I can be.

Call warship to area off coast where 10 ships have already been blasted to oblivion without so much as a hey, can we see your papers...Check

Drop bombs on a nation without provacation. Check.

Deploy troops on US streets...call all democrats enemies of the state.

Me kind of thinks we are already in a war and just refuse to believe ours eyes because for the last 50 years TV and mass Media machine has been programming us to not believe what we see on the TV screen...well, maybe if it raining and the weather man said it would, yea, but next time he might miss and it will not rain, so believe the weather man or not...me? I chose to go outside and see for myself, because I believe what I see, feel and hear.

My apologies, I'm so mad...oh yea, ADD: Watching the East Wing being destroyed and lkooking like Putin hit it with a drone...

Yea, I'm hopping mad.

Zelensky was asked about elections, he said they can't have elections now because of the war. They will as soon as the war ends. Mehdi said you could see trump perk up - repeated you can't have an election because of the war.
Nothing will surprise me.

How long will it take for the rest of the world to take the threat he poses seriously?

Yes, he'll start a war, but . . . .

No, he'll say the other country started it and we were using self-defense.
