if Iran doesn't soon retaliate on U.S. soil (hack electric grid, car bomb, whatever)

trump will manufacture such an incident and use it as his Reichstag fire incident, soon to be followed by the Great American Kristallnacht (tm).

I think this scenario was one of the factors that led to his decision to bomb Iran -- there was no downside (for him).
