If someone starts a bloody, brutal war, and makes that decision from the standpoint that murdering people will distract from their domestic woes...

... is that not a distraction?

"Distraction" here doesn't mean "It doesn't matter", but what Trump's entire political career has been about - starting a new crisis to attempt to avoid the American electorate's attention span from focusing on any particular one that they seem to care about. If this war in Iran proves to be disastrous in terms of political approval (and it looks like it might end up so), then expect Trump to start something else as a distraction.
