I think provoking trump to escalate is exactly the right strategy. He's deeply unpopular and getting more unpopular by the day. Provoking him into making even more stupid and unpopular decisions is going to eventually force a crisis where the GOP congress is going to have to decide if they support a deeply unpopular lunatic who is possibly selling out the us to Russia.

Maybe in your echo chamber he is unpopular. I could say the same of Obama in my neck of the woods.

He has the lowest approval rates for a new president [1], ever. It is fair to say that his lack of popularity is not just GP's perception.

Is it really that surprising given that he didn't win the popular vote?
