Trump does not go out of his way to start anything.
He does however respond those who attack him.
That man is Mad Dog Mattis. Bring him out of retirement and put him at the head of the JCS.

Almost everyone like Patton, Bradley, Betel Smith, Schwarzkopf, or MacArthur have been purged from the military by our man child in chief. But, some are out there to be found. And, Trump is the man to find them.
Probably more like MacArthur than Patton. MacArthur is one of the most talented American generals ever and one of the most courageous too. A general (one star) in WW1, a general (5 stars) in WW2 and a general in Korea (5 stars). The most decorated American in ww1, nominated 3 times for the medal of honor (Mexico, ww1, ww2). The General had a knack for spotting talent and had the best general staff in the army, Ike served under MacArthur from 1932 until 1940. The General did have his faults, ego mostly, sound familiar?
