As Fred makes clear, your definition sucks. And you have to see how a definition works in practice to understand it--hence all the "making things up" you refer to.
Why not refer to 1) the US legal code, and 2) the actual practice of defining wars.

It's not "my definition". I looked at Act of War in the link you provided and none of that addresses what Trump did. You guys sure you don't want to call it something else?
