I'm sure Trump has convinced himself that if we're in the middle of a meat grinder war, we won't want to "switch horses midstream," the phrase Nixon used to convince people to vote for him in 1972, so he could finish the war.

Trump thinks we'll beg him to remain in office and fight this war as only he knows how to do.
