6. Following Trump's "lead" on anything has never had a positive result--to the extent that he actually HAS led on anything

He hasn't really led on anything. Various "advisers and confidantes" have led him around by the nose, and he is too vain to realize it.

And war? Iran was last at war with Iraq, when Saddam thought that an Iran weakened by the revolution would be a pushover, and invaded them. oops. Iran is a nation dominated by Persians, who make up only about 51% of the population. Probably a majority of the Persians in Iran, let alone the other ethnic groups, would be only too happy to see the end of the Mullah regime. Just about the only way to unite them in solidarity would be to attack the country from the outside. Was September 11th, 2001 THAT long ago? The most effective contributor to the Cheney-Bush campaign of 2004 was not Sheldon Adelson. It was Osama Bin Laden.
