It would be quite hilarious if a major war was started over the media cornering an insecure ego-maniac with claims of serving as a foreign leader's puppet, leading to said ego-maniac starting a war to disprove that he is not. And the media applauding him for his efforts, throughout the whole process, patting him on the back for it. "Good one Trump, you really showed us that you stand with America, by bombing the shit out of them!"
Nothing like cleansing one's reputation with a bath of human blood.
America's conspiratorial, borderline paranoid nature never ceases to be a source of amusement. Along with the occasional bit of brutality, to bring the required seriousness to the comedy.
