Operation Northwoods would have been an American version of the Reichstag Fire had it been allowed to proceed.

While the minority-president elect is probably not smart enough to figure out something like that, he certainly has a cadre of sycophants that are.

There is a crapton of Trumpistas who would go from tsk-tsking a supposedly ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in California to cheering it on once it’s revealed that it was actually planned and carried out by Trump’s underlings as a false flag operation. Although the odds of something like this happening are minuscule, they’re still non-zero. Hatred of California liberals runs pretty high in a lot of the rural areas in red and purple states.
