Is America in the Wag The Dog territory because in the movie the pres was caught up in some sex stuff and fakes a war. Or am I just reading to much into our dipshit in Orange?

Part of it may be that. However, part of it seems to be that Trump is happy to look strong while others give the orders and now he's surrounded by people who realize they can get Trump to agree to whatever.

It's worth noting that when the movie first came out the "conventional wisdom" was that it was referring to Bill Clinton.

You're just posting for upvotes. I'm pretty sure you'll never be accused of "reading *too much into" anything.
