Trump might very well figure that losing Guam - or Seoul, or Tokyo - is a small price to pay for a second term as the American people rally around their greatest-ever wartime leader.
Phase Two involves arming every school teacher in South Korea with a nuke. It’s the logical combination.
Taking you entirely out of context, I don’t think hoping Trump loses control in thread that talks about him threatening nuclear war is appropriate 
Trump has been trying to train Kim to do exactly that since day one of his presidency. But Kim has been singularly resistant to the training.
^100% this.
Is thump going to follow China’s lead and try to do away with term limits?
Not just out of the blue, but if he can get a good war going, and people seem to be buying it as a legitimate war, then–sure. He’ll give it a go.
By that time, of course, we won’t know much about it. The Internet will no longer be a source of news. And it, along with local television, radio, and papers, will be under strict Trump administration controls.
Trump definitely has dictator-envy. We all remember how impressed he was by Xi, and of course all his admiring comments about Putin and Kim (pre- ‘rocket man’ days, anyway).

Well, we could always ship them to the Philippines and let Duterte do it.
Here we go again. The dumbest possible solution to a complex problem. He never lets you down, does dumbo donny. Next up, healthcare: Give everyone a medical license. Now we’re all doctors! Ta-da!
So, those guys who manufactured and distributed millions of opioid pills, millions more than any legitimate use could call for, they get…what? A stern scolding? Not even?
We could give all those armed teachers a chance to get used to shooting people. Win-win!
From our good friends at Talking Points Memo…
Comment would be superfluous.
He’d run right up and slash the shooter with his bone spurs!
Sure, while holding a baby up in front of him, probably.
First he’d have to figure out which foot they’re in.
Trump is the fat loudmouth Monday morning quarterback, who spouts off uninformed “common sense” solutions to every problem, starting with the phrase “If I were president…” The problem of course is that he is.
