I think he’ll cause multiple wars; both directly by his order, and indirectly by his incompetent flailing about. I also expect at last one and possibly more uses of nuclear weapons. Mecca seems a likely target, to “punish Muslims”; also Tehran since Iran isn’t going to roll over for him. Mexico City is also a likely target is he presses ahead on his stupid wall and they refuse his demands that they pay for it.
