Trump Jr. lies, says his dad was the 1st President in modern history who didn't start a new war

Jimmy Carter, Nixon and Eisenhower didn't start new wars.
Trump Jr. is either a dumbass or lying on purpose. Below is Jr's tweet/lie and a fact-check that was done on the same exact lie a while ago:

His dad was damn lucky this trade wars, insults and generally ignorance of diplomacy didn't start another one.

Most world leaders, would have avoided a conflict knowing it was Trump, -even N Korea had enough smarts not to provoke the man-child with a button.

It's a shame we can't preemptively impeach and convict him.
