I recall Trump shocking an advisor (a Republican) that the Republican Party sent to brief him on foreign affairs by asking why we couldn't use nukes since we have them.

etc. has reported this, and the article implying that the bombers are loaded with nukes is not only irresponsible, but probably false. However, I would not expect anything less from that right wing rag

Even though this is a tabloid, don't forget that it was reading a tabloid news story that set the Trumpster off on his tweet storm last weekend over Obama wire tapping his phone. The Trumpster's entire administration is built on nothing but tabloid news material. Besides, if you look on page 25 you get to find out where Presley is living .
