I agree, the US public should not be considered any sort of restraint for the US govt if they truly want to provoke a conflict with China under Trump.
I wouldn't call it simple for the US to garner support for a war against China necessarily, but it definitely is something to seriously consider and factor into predictions.
Come Blitzo, War talk is out around here, and Trump is not gonna start a war with China, in fact a strong America may be all that prevents that, and Trump is gonna make America strong again, 8 years of Obama has taken a toll on us.
