Deflect Attention, Quick! It's a trap!

If you have some of the lowest approval ratings ever for a President, what do you do? Well your advisors will tell you to brew up some deflection. What better way to appeal to the hungry American masses then a sensational story? Well rightly or wrongly, Trump quickly intervened in Syria after a devastating chemical attack by the Russian supported Asad regime. Rockets destroyed an airstrip/airbase in retaliation. Not to be outdone, the rhetoric with North Korea, and their race to become nuclear capable, is also taking away attention from the problems at home. Trump can do well to focus attention away from his Russian ties with wars on two fronts. North Korea would be an easy win. Not sure if the country wants to do it though. Any notion that war is better for the economy isn't an economist. Billions in war tools is better spent at home in domestic consumption.
