Trump is following a well-worn path of narcissistic despots throughout history, summed up well by Shakespeare's Henry IV in his deathbed advice to his son, Henry V: "Busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels." That is, distract attention from his other failures by making fraudulent territorial claims on neighboring lands as an excuse for invading them, all in order to stir up jingoistic fervor and demonize his opponents...Not a good sign!
