As Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough tells it, Donald Trump asked not once, not twice, but three times about nuclear weapons during a foreign policy briefing with an expert. "Trump asked three times in an hour briefing, 'Why can't we use nuclear weapons?'" Scarborough said on Wednesday's episode of Morning Joe, as a panel discussed concerns about how Trump might handle national security. At one point, Scarborough said, Trump even asked, "'If we have them, why can't we use them?'"
After the panel managed to wipe the stunned looks off their faces, Scarborough's co-host, Mika Brzezinski, fired off a warning: "Be careful America, and be careful Republican leaders," she said.

(17,199 posts)The "Late Show" host had a long monologue recently addressing the Republican presidential candidate's latest gaffes that won't seem to go away. Now he's taking up the news that, according to Joe Scarborough, Trump asked "why can't we use" nuclear weapons.
"Oooh, I know that one," Colbert said in response on his Wednesday show.
He went on to imitate a dropped nuclear bomb wreaking havoc in a way that managed to be both hilarious and bone-chilling.
Lately, Colbert is doing the opposite of letting Trump off easy, and he's using his unique brand of comedy to make it undeniably entertaining.
