Yeah but no president can start a war all by himself, he can only act in a defensive posture, so if the US is under sudden attack, he can order a strike back in a emergency, he cannot just start wars without Congressional approval. Trump may be the Commander and Chief of the U.S Army but just cannot start a war on his own volition by firing off a nuke or two somewhere.
