That's where Trump's mind is at; his polls are down the tariff war is wearing on people and he wants to get his poles up to be re-elected.
Trump doesn't realize that the majority of Americans know that he's a liar and he's not a good leader so going to war will make the vast majority of people very nervous with Trump as president

Also, the war will send gas prices skyrocketing (500%+ up). The result will be massive inflation across the board (everything needs to be shipped and delivered... oil prices largely determine the cost of goods).
Inflation means higher interest rates, which tanks the stock market... but that's a digression.
The economy blowing up will cost Trump the election; HOWEVER...
He may be thinking that higher oil prices are good. The fracking industry is heavily in debt, and they need oil in the $120/barrel range not to implode. Oil industry implosion will tank the economy and cost Trump the election.
So, if he's thinking about saving oil industry domestically, he may want this war believing it serves dual purpose of "creating jobs" in domestic oil, and that wars improve approval ratings.
In reality, high oil prices will tank his approval ratings and the economy.
Truth is, if I didn't object for a million other reasons, I'd say this war will be great for the world because it will be the end of Trump. But sadly, I think this war might end human life on earth, so not so good :/
