What if he were a psychopath with his finger near the red button?

Would that concern you?

He has talked about nuclear weapons. He has asked, "Why have them if you don't use them"?

Does it bother you that he prefers to get his intelligence briefings from Mike Pence?

Does it bother you that he is a psychopathic liar?

Does it bother you that he thinks he is above the laws of our Constitution and our nation?

Does it bother you that he is indecent and vulgar? (I don''t think that is judgemental?)

Does it bother you that he is so anti-First Amendment? He would totally censor the press and the media if he gets the opportunity?

Does the unknown and "unpredictable" bother you at all?

Or do you accept the propaganda, that was fed to you in a warm bottle with a nipple, that, at least, he's not Hillary? At least, he didn't delete any emails.

1. Congress started to kick around some restrictions on launching nuclear weapons

back before that ridiculous convention. I'm sure they've been quietly working on it, as much as Republicans can ever be bothered to work on anything.

IOW, I doubt Trump will be allowed to launch ICBMs because he was having a bad hair day and Putin laughed at him.

The Nazi wing of the Republican Party has been howling any restriction on presidential power is unconstitutional. No word from them on the refusal to vote on USSC nominees.

while going out in a big way. Nuclear annihilation of the planet. He wants to take everyone with him because no one else would be left behind that could call themselves greater.

& scares the crap out of me. He cares nothing about anything but DJT. If it doesn't suit him, its screw us all.
He is 70 years old, fat, stressed from owing his sole to the devil, so if he is on the way out, I don't think for a moment he wouldn't push THE button.

While the President is the Commander and Chief, there are limits to his command authority.
