As for Trump starting WW3, aren't these the same people complaining that Trump was being blackmailed by Russia? Do they honestly think Putin wants to blackmail Trump into starting WW3?
...

If the blackmail stories are true: When one gets tired of being blackmailed, one strikes out at the blackmailer.

If the blackmail stories are false: How better for Trump to show Russia has nothing on him than to start a war with them? (Well, yes, I know there are plenty of better ways - but look at the wording and tone of his inauguration speech.)

Just as worrisome is that Trump may just start a war period. And it escalates into a nuclear exchange.

The 1930's showed how that works out in the end but it might delay things enough for another president to deal with it.

And the next President might decided to accept it as well, if the cost of rolling back whatever tide is too great and just concentrate on "Fortress America". Of course you do know a nation can't run on a war footing indefinitely and maintain a decent standard of living.
Edit: His theme seems to "America First". And the US has a grievance against the world. Does not it sound similar to what dictators use to justify their actions?
