But he detests being laughed at or mocked. He never forgot Obama roasting him in 2011 at the White House Correspondents' Dinner; his ridiculous over-reaction to SNL; his particularized hate of Joe and Mika, and Don Lemon--those shows that ridicule him, where there's a lot of laughter at his expense: they irritate him more than other programs.

A sociopath (psychopath, malignant narcissist, whatever you want to call him) with access to nuclear weapons was just triggered on the world stage. This isn't good.

Evidently during the Clinton Administration the person carrying the “biscuit” lost it for months. It can happen.

https://time.com/5085723/nuke-button-donald-trump-nuclear-weapons-north-korea/

As a congressional primer on the procedure notes, the United States has no rules against a preemptive strike, but some in Congress have argued that, in that case, the president should not have the sole power to to do this and should require additional approval.

Either way, however, the next step is for Trump to identify himself to the command center who can actually implement the strike.

Trump identifies himself to the Pentagon

As President, Trump carries an ID card known as the “biscuit” that enables him to identify himself to officials at the Pentagon with unique codes letting them know he is authorizing a nuclear strike. He would also need to specify the type of attack he wanted to carry out; the different options are delineated in the nuclear football.

I bet he's meeting with shorty Putin, either instead of, or in addition to. Why would Danish leaders mean anything to Trumpy Dumpy?

Trump took that as the biggest provocation since Pearl Harbor.

Dems cannot out-insult him and expect results, but keep the laugh track going and he has no response. Mock the sad clown, mock the sadder clown jr, mock the daughter of the clown who only helps women in the mirror, and just ignore the dumbest of the clown children and his overbite.

loyalty to this country, they would vote to impeach this laughingstock of a pretend president. Too bad, their loyalty is to rubles from Russia. tRump is a disgrace. He is making the entire gop look like complete fools, defending him.

That he has no place in polite society given he is a pariah & the laughing stock of the world. So like a dog he tucks his hind tail between his legs & marches off. Shameful SOB.
