to attack or attacking?

[krisfromgermany]

Hello,
which of these sentences are correct?
1) I hope that as soon as Donald enters the oval office his first action will be to attack ISIS.
2) I hope that as soon as Donald enters the oval office his first action will be attacking ISIS.

3) I hope that as soon as Donald will have entered the oval office his first action will be to attack ISIS.
4) I hope that as soon as Donald will have entered the oval office his first action will be attacking ISIS.

5) I hope that as soon as Donald will be entering the oval office his first action will be to attack ISIS.
6) I hope that as soon as Donald will be entering the oval office his first action will be attacking ISIS.

7) I hope that as soon as Donald has entered the oval office his first action will be to attack ISIS.
8) I hope that as soon as Donald has entered the oval office his first action will be attacking ISIS.

By the way, is 'to enter' the right verb in this case or should it better be 'to take' or 'to reach' or something completely different?
And is 'I hope' right or should it better be 'I am hoping' or 'I do hope'?

You seem very confident of Donald's victory. :roll:

1) and 7) are correct, though Oval Office needs to be capitalised.

Yeah I'm probably one of his biggest supporters from outside the U.S. and I'm very confident that he's going to win.
By the way, one technical question, how can I add a signature to my profile? Can't find the function in the profile settings.

And why are 3) and 5) wrong?

The beautiful, fabulous :-D option to add a signature will appear after you've made enough posts. I don't remember the magic number.

#3 and #5 are not colloquial.

I was amused to read that some of Trump's supporters wear T-shirts bearing the logo 'We Shall Overcomb'.

That photo is an assault on my sensibilities, Rover.

I'm not sure those are supporters.

Since a few posts have already gone slightly "off-topic", I would like to add this thought - I find the idea of Donald Trump becoming President of the United States a lot scarier than ISIS (or whatever name they're going by this week).

If Donald Trump becomes President of the USA it will be time for all rational people to look for another planet to live on.
