Looking at their record side by side... it's Trump that's going to start a new war? Lol what? Is it opposite day today?

He would absolutely. You really think he would have been able to stop Netanyahu from going after Lebanon and Iran? It wouldn’t have been Trump to start the war, but we would absolutely be in the midst WWIII right now. You saw what happened to the state department during his term, there would be nothing left of it (or Ukraine) at this point.

Like when John Bolton tried to start a war at the behest of Israel and Trump fired him and made fun of his mustache?

Exactly. If you hadn’t noticed, the state department has been working overtime to keep this massacre from spiraling into a larger conflict. The state department would be gone, but our foreign policy wouldn’t. Israel would have started WWIII and we would be obliged to help.
