re: #119 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
Trump’s aversion to war was most likely less out of pacifism than it was simply that wars are a mess, too much can go astray, they wake up you up at weird hours and demand informed decisions, way too much for him, especially with a military that is not anxious to use war to partisan political goals.
Imagine of 9-11 had happened when he was president.
