"Trump" as a shorthand for "US government" sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. In this case "Trump seems intent on trashing..." I doubt that is the case, although it may be for the more calculating of his supporters. The truest thing I've read (I can't remember where, maybe the Economist) is that Trump wants a big win ie he'll use the USA's firepower to trash Iran and then simply walk away in a week or two's time, not caring that others have to clear up the mess. 1/2
