A tldr is that just like in WW2, America was able to win it millitary simply by the fact of its logistics capability in being able to support russia, Europe and its self by its industrial output through its already existing domestic manufacturing capabilities, alot of companies manufacturing goods for everyday households where able to swap over to building tanks, planes and guns etc really quickly.

I think he is trying to bring that domestic output back without publicly adressing the elephant in the room because when shit kicks off, the first things to be going are global lines of communication and global supply routes. Sounds drastic but it kills two birds with one stone, helps americas economy with local consumption of products but also having the capacity and materials to produce self sufficiently in war time economy.
It's possible. I think of the USA like the Germany just before WW2. Their economy was completely farled right before the war. Nazi ideology be damned, there are many like me who think that the single driving force behind them going to war was simply because they had a terrible economy. Their people were dying of starvation. They had nothing to lose.

Imagine if you were starving, couldn't put a roof over your family, couldn't feed them, you couldn't get any joy from anywhere, punting, Netflix, drinking at the pub, you name it, all gone. Life no longer has any meaning. BUT... you stand a chance of getting it all back if you follow the "leader" and go to war. Pause for a minute and think about how you would act in those circumstances.

I'm sure some of you might be thinking "why would Trump want to do such a thing? What does he gain out of it?". Some might say that he's conspiring with his elite buddies to line their pockets, but I personally think that it's a much more stupid reason.

He's trying to avoid prison. Remember that the election that he won was an all or nothing bet from him. He'd been found guilty of crimes and was bound for prison. He was only saved by becoming POTUS. The only way he can stay out of prison was if he continued to be POTUS, and there's no better way to ensure that than to be a wartime president.

A telltale sign that this is the driving force behind his every action is the fact he's even talking about getting a 3rd term within less than 3 months of his current term. The guy is just a crook to the bone, seriously.
