Trump is playing games again

Donald Trump is an entertainer and a businessman. This makes him a pretty good politician, in some ways anyway, in the US, in any case. However, he has no real concept of war, real war, at all. None. How could he? Trump has been protected his entire life, he really doesn't know what it means to fight for survival and freedom, it's not a concept he understands. His own freedom has never been signficantly constrained, he has always gotten his way, for his entire life. So, he just doesn't get why other people, and sometimes other nation states, don't want to give him entirely what he wants, just because he wants it. The notion that other people and other countries really don't care what he wants, doesn't register on his psyche, or consciousness. So, he pulls stunts like Project Freedom, where the entire US Navy is assigned, at immense expense, to attempt to escort of couple of insignicant merchantmen through a hail of Iranian fire, while Iran also trashes the neighboring Gulf States, and the US can do nothing about it, because the Congress won't pay for any more missiles or drones for the US Navy. Trump is trying to make it look like he's doing something. He's also trying to somehow persuade other world nations to put themselves in harm's way to do the same thing, which they certainly will not do.
