Welp, I looked it up.

Usually the Wag the Dog scenario is to go to other countries to start a war when your polls are in the tank. Nope. Trump just wants to wage war on America's neighborhoods
373 homicides in Chicago in 2020 as of early July. Over 4,000 COVID 19 deaths. All of these deaths matter, and every life is precious. But it's clear Trump has no interest in healing people / saving lives. Just in waging war to look tough for reelection.
