President Trump is a “Rorschach test”, people interpret his words and action to meet their preconceived ideas (and agenda).

I have no idea what President Trump’s intentions are. What I do know (from his past actions) is that he is playing the long game (and that he is not above playing “head games” with his opposition. The only thing we can do is wait and see how this all plays out.

Now, on another subject (and not an interpretation on the President’s action is calling off the attack).

I recently watched a documentary on WWI. A war no one really wanted. You could say it was an accidental war that resulted in the loss of million of lives and changed Europe forever (as well as sowed the seeds for WWII).

The war could have been prevented if just one national leader would have stopped to think about the ramification of their action. But once the wheels began turning, minor disputes, misunderstandings, incompetence and the feeling that they would have a quick and clean victory added to the FEAR OF LOOKING WEAK preventing the leaders to back away... war became inevitable.

President Trump did something no other leader in recent history has done. He made the decision NOT to go to war.

Think of how many wars have been fought because our leaders did not have the strength to withstand political or public pressure.

Personally I don’t think President Trump had any intention of sending bombers or cruise missiles into Iran. I personally believe he is smoking out his opposition both overseas and within our nation.

He is the physiologist and he just gave everyone a Rorschach Test.
