Joe Scarborough revealed that Donald Trump asked this question THREE TIMES during a briefing on international relations with a foreign policy expert a few months ago.
The process for what happens if a president determines they must use nuclear weapons is designed for speed in order to carry out the order as swiftly as possible.
There is no debate when the decision has been made.
