How long until he starts a war some where? The trick of two-bit phony dictators since the beginning of history.
I hope he doesn't try out the "football" for it. In any event, we don't need even more enemies.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

This goes back to the beginnings of U.S. History :
"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."—
James Madison
We have been at war almost constantly since 1776:
