and he asked why we could not use Nuclear weapons three different times. Joe S. just said that on Morning Joe. He said that is why Trump does not have any foreign policy experts on his side now!

(7,768 posts)Trump's total LACK of decisiveness.
When Joe revealed that Trump had met with a foreign policy expert for advice and THREE times in an hour he inquired "Why can't we use nukes?", General Hayden was asked about a President using nuclear weapons and the safeguards and checks built in.
His reply was, "The use of nuclear weapons program by a President is designed for "SPEED and DECISIVENESS".
THAT fact brought on a stunned silence and then a GASP from the panel.

(62,444 posts)My vote has always been based on two questions:
1. Whom do I trust with the temperance not to launch nukes?
2. Whom do I trust with Supreme Court appointments?
