5. He is itching for a war of aggression. He wants to take over another country and create a USA empire.

It is a plank in the classic authoritarian's platform.

He sees his mates like Putin invading a resource-rich neighbor, and he admires Xi and Kim for their strong, manly sword-waving.

So he is floating ideas for an invasion, a cakewalk war like Reagan and Bush had. Canada? Iceland? Venezuela? Panama (again)?

The spoils are not as important as the victory to him. Victory means aggrandizement, accolades, a chapter in history books. His lifeblood.

Look at his past. He is all about conquest. Women, money, fame, power. He doesn't earn any of that. He simply takes it, and for some inexplicable reason, nobody stops him.
