Former US presidential aide Clive Sims says that the "madman theory" may have been the most prominent way for Trump to keep America safe without resorting to war. Sims says Trump's approach goes without saying one thing to America's enemies: he is likely to resort to overwhelming and shocking violence if he feels they have insulted or offended the United States.
Sims: "The only thing the Iranians... can be sure of is that if they violate Trump's red lines, he won't bother to take strenuous political steps to decide how to respond"
