paraphrasing dr. helen caldicott of the physicians for nuclear responsibility (think that is the correct name of the organization)

(to me) that Trump is not serious about becoming president.

Although he may well be more of a goner than he otherwise appears (and thus thinks he's ready to step into
the Oval Office), my sense is that, really, he doesn't need the responsibility and the aggravation of being "president."

He'll either bow out at the last minute (if elected), or the RNC will amend its rules to remove him from office beforehand.

Then the job will likely fall to a cretin like Ryan.

only selfish, narcissistic and every other negative possible, he is also completely bonkers.

There literally would be no place safe on the planet - perhaps not even in the universe.

I don't believe in apocalyptic religious crap, but is it possible that he could be the Anti-Christ that fundie zealots have been praying for? Putting him in the WH would certainly accomplish some sort of world's end. Perhaps that is why so many fundie nutcases flock to him. He represents The Rapture for them.

This Fake is throwing in the kitchen sink already. Remember the last Guy who touted using Nukes,and that didn't go to well with Goldwater,did it.

Is Trump trying to Bail? He is one sick Puppy!!!

And, to be clear, Raphael Edward Cruise-Missile would be even more eager to enter the launch sequence.

I wonder what is taught at our service academies about indiscriminate bombing (nuclear or otherwise) on civilians? Don't we have treaties against this sort of thing?

which is what complicated the Iraq mission and Afghanistan mission where it's not clear who the good guys are when everyone looks bad.

Unfortunately our service academies teach that indiscriminate mass murder in Japan ended WW2 and historians support that narrative.
