Is it Trump's goal to start a Civil War? [View all]

Is that why the January 6th event?

Is that why he kept classified documents?

Does he want to be arrested so that his base lose their minds and start shooting up the place?

This is my guess. It was what Steve Bannon wanted to have happen.

They expect to profit mightily. Become like Putin. Reap the spoils of war - the desecrated U.S. of A.
