That very last thing you said? That's why Trump is so dangerous. He makes Bush look like a peace loving hippie in comparison, because at no point did Bush Jr say "You know what we need more of? Nukes!". Surviving Bush was easy, all he did was declare war on tiny countries that could never hope to actually defeat America, at best just pushing us out of their own. Trump? He recently asked one of his advisers no less than three times "So, why can't we just nuke them?". That's not a SNL sketch, that's something he actually did, and he's not afraid of annoying, say, China. Bush got us in a war with a third world country or two. Trump might get us into a nuclear war with the other two super powers.
The thing about the status quo is, it isn't magical. It can be broken. A leader who's got no interest in maintaining the status quo is exactly the thing to upset it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
