It's why it will always be just as futile to take a "we can do it BETTER" stance on any Rethug-initiated war, just as it was futile to do that on Iraq or on Reagan's Central America policies.

Dems will run on ending or avoiding war, not "doing war better."

Trump has had "success" disregarding well-established norms, so why not a casual approach to the use of nuclear weapons? It just seems to cause his right wing zealots love him even more.

Donald Trump Trump reportedly asks why US can't use nukes: MSNBC
10:06 AM ET Wed, 3 Aug 2016 | 01:20
Donald Trump asked a foreign policy expert advising him why the U.S. can't use nuclear weapons, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said on the air Wednesday, citing an unnamed source who claimed he had spoken with the GOP presidential nominee.

"Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why can't we use them," Scarborough said on his "Morning Joe" program.

Scarborough made the Trump comments 52 seconds into an interview with former Director of Central Intelligence and ex-National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden.

Scarborough then asked a hypothetical question to Hayden about how quickly nuclear weapons could be deployed if a president were to give approval.

That's why he did it.

I do notice this is a Rassie Poll. I'll wait until whatever the Jaundiced Hippo was diverting us from to hit the wires before I get all colicky about it.

Slimy sociopath knows that war guarantees presidential popularity, or at least a rise in it.

Only because sufficient 'Muricans are brain-dead enough to want to be saved from the scary world out there by the orange shitgibbon they think of as their all-knowing father.

Or something like that.





If America as a whole had any common sense, at this time--when he's clearly ginning up tensions to distract from Russiagate and his own incompetence, not because the U.S. faces any more legitimate threat than under President Obama--his ratings would be plummeting right now.

And one other thing: don't people see that as soon as the pukes get one of their stooges in the White House, the fear factor escalates and the war drums start? We've lived through enough puke admins to see the clear pattern by now...

We all knew Trump's saber rattling was for one purpose and one purpose only. He needed to get his moronic base "fired up" about something. It will always be his ace-in-the-hole, and should impeachment turn out to be an actual possibility, well...............

It's worked for every president who's ever used it, the "wag the dog" gambit. It will be short lived though, so either he's going to have to go "all in" with his plan to nuke North Korea, or he'll just forget the whole thing and move on to something else. That's always been his M.O. and I see no reason for changing up now.

We shall see.

DEPLORABLE!!!!!!

Trump will be tempted to do the same.

He's desperate just like Bush and have NO problem throwing a War just for gain.

be over soon and tRUMP is just an ugly footnote that 22nd century historians ponder over...

Now that his Nazi thugs have killed one and hospitalized twenty.
