Trump: A loose monkey with a knife

Trump demonstrates the inconsistency of his personality by breaking his threats

With Donald Trump in the Situation Room, where the war operations are heading, there are already two occasions so far this year when the specter of an unexpected war strolls through the White House. The first was at the height of the verbal escalation between Kim Jong-un and the US president, just at the beginning of the year, when the intersection of insults and expletives was added the competition for the size of the nuclear button they were going to press each one of the characters faced. The second was this April, when Trump called Bachar the Assad "animal" and promised him a ration of missiles, "precious, new and intelligent", raising the fear of a direct confrontation between Russia and the United States on Syrian territory .

The most dangerous and erratic president in history has overcome two critical situations in three months with the same self-assurance with which he had provoked them. That his threats have not materialized says a lot about the inconsistency of his personality, described by James Comey, the dismissed and dismissed ex-director of the FBI, in terms of "emptiness" and "anxieties of affirmation", unbecoming of an adult.
