As I noted on Tuesday, acts of terror can accomplish political goals when they drive the government to overreact and force waverers to choose sides. Imagine how this will play out with President Trump, who has a simple-minded belief that toughness is the solution to all political problems.
When the next big terror attack comes in this country, Trump is going to go nuts, and things will get very ugly in a hurry. It’ll be awful. Believe me. Believe me.
