Trump, the "Nuclear Expert"

[mellincf]

Back in 1984, Trump wanted to be our "nuclear expert" negotiating with the Soviet Union. Comparing crafting an arms accord with cooking up a real estate deal, Trump insisted he had innate talent for this mission. He claimed he would know exactly what to demand of the Russians—though he conceded his lack of experience in the technical field of nuclear weaponry. “It would take an hour-and-a-half to learn everything there is to learn about missiles…I think I know most of it anyway,” he said. “You’re talking about just getting updated on a situation.” Who knew nuclear technology could be so difficult?

In 1986, Trump told Bernard Lown, a cardiologist who invented the defibrillator and who received the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize for joining with a prominent Soviet physician to promote nuclear arms reduction, that he could concoct a nuclear disarmament deal with the Soviet Union and end the Cold War in an hour. Who knew war could be so difficult?

Over the years, Trump’s reckless and fact-free talk about nuclear weapons has been coupled with remarks showing he has a fatalistic approach and possibly believes a nuclear conflagration is unavoidable. In a 1990 interview with Playboy, Trump said, “I think of the future, but I refuse to paint it. Anything can happen. But I often think of nuclear war.”

At the July 20 meeting, Trump essentially said he wanted the US nuclear stockpile to expand from about 4,000 to about 32,0000 weapons. And the threats Trump has hurled at North Korea— it will face “fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before”—imply that he has considered the use of nuclear weapons against Kim Jong Un. (By the way, should Trump order a nuclear strike, it would be damn hard for anyone around him to stop it.)

He has been "threatening" about and discussing using nuclear weapons for some time.

Recall his asking why we have them if we don't use them ?

Recall his not taking off the table using nuclear weapons in Europe.

Add to that his lifelong bizarre behavior....

Tump's doing a great job. It is refreshing after the last eight years of an Entertainer wannabe in the White House. It is nice to finally have the majority's voice heard instead of the radical left minority heard when it comes to how the gov should be run. Notice we are not dealing with gay marriage, legalizing drugs and other simple minded issues that matter only to a select few.

Since I know you cannot...please supply credible facts to show Trump has a majority support ...

Let me add, with the sinking numbers I read both in Trump and the Republican Party it may be a long time before the right sees any power.

I opposed and do oppose Trump on many fronts, but his destruction of the party handing them them the reins of power for many years is and was a main one.

The Democratic Party was and still is in some ways in disarray, but I assure you as we already are seeing, people are leaving this radical extreme right group, and not so much running to the democrats but to the middle and independence from this nutcase of a party.

Alex Jones is one of his main guys and you think he has majority support..pay attention.

You call Obama an "entertainer wannabe" and elected a Hollywood game show host? And what is your problem with gay marriage? Do you think some gay is going to jump out of the bushes and scream "marry me" at you? Plus, "legalizing drugs" I assume refers to the herb marijuana, while I wonder just how many legal drugs you take every single day. Healing Herb?

Yes...yes...yes...you're gay...can we move on?

Or do I have to remind you what a perversion it is?

Do you play the boy or the girl part? Are you the butch one or the submissive one?

You can do anything you want in private...I don't care...I just don't want to see your sick sh!t.
