Surely this is on his bingo card of authoritarian moves.
It might come when/if his administration starts to crater from corruption, incompetence and stupidity, and he needs a distraction.
Or he might just decide that he is the world's most brilliant military strategist and needs to prove it. You know Hitler thought the same thing.

if a brief skirmish is not just a distraction, but to fill trump's neo-colonialist urges, my bet is a war with cuba.
a. being an outright coward, he would select a very small country with no chance to seriously defend itself. i can not think of any of cuba's allies that would risk getting into a hot conflict with america.
b. the proximity, as well as the off-color residents, means trump would have endless justifications to MAGA. ("they're invading Florida!")
c. since it would be too expensive to deport all the cubans, trump would use his businessman genius to setup a special economic zone as an alternative sweatshop to asia. with tax breaks for cuban-americans to return as managers.
d. plus, year-round golf.
