Once a war has started, it won't be fake any more.

You don't exchange the Fraudster in Chief while at war, so they do want a war. Any war. But I have the strange impression that von Clownstick doesn't want to be seen as having started it by himself.

Presidency can’t be extended by wars.

  • FDR's tenure might have created an amendment to that effect, but it's not like this administration hasn't used a legal loophole before.

    Perhaps there's a war, that a misguided congress won't declare as such, and a certain vice president that runs for president, with a certain someone as his vice president...

  • … not yet. The problem with a norm breaking presidency like Trump’s and the GOP power structure is that no norm is safe, including elections.
