The US government has never lacked for an excuse when it has decided an invasion was it wanted. No matter who the leader was.

Yep. The recently-late, always-great, Tom Lehrer said it best:

When someone makes a move 
Of which we don't approve, 
Who is it that always intervenes? 
U.N. and O.A.S., 
They have their place, I guess, 
But first - send the Marines!

We'll send them all we've got, 
John Wayne and Randolph Scott; 
Remember those exciting fighting scenes? 
To the shores of Tripoli, 
But not to Mississippoli, 
What do we do? We send the Marines!

For might makes right, 
And till they've seen the light, 
They've got to be protected, 
All their rights respected, 
Till somebody we like can be elected.

Members of the corps 
All hate the thought of war; 
They'd rather kill them off by peaceful means. 
Stop calling it aggression, 
Ooh, we hate that expression! 
We only want the world to know 
That we support the status quo. 
They love us everywhere we go, 
So when in doubt, 
Send the Marines!

It'll probably kick off the invasion of Greenland because he doesn't know the difference between Norway and Denmark.

I thought this was satire, but it’s not. Some republicans aren’t just calling for Trump to win the peace prize, but for him to have it named after him.
