Why Can’t Man-Baby Donald Trump Use Nuclear Weapons, WHY WHY WHY??? A Wonksplainer

He wishes.


Former CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden had a cup of joe with the “Morning Joe” kids Wednesday, and during his appearance, Joe Scarborough told a tale of Donald Trump meeting with a foreign policy expert and throwing a temper tantrum over why he doesn’t get to use nukes if he becomes president. “WHY WHY WHY?” asked Trump, while he pooped his diamond-encrusted underpants and had an absolute meltdown. OK maybe that is not exactly what went down.
Here is Scarborough’s quote:
Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why can’t we use them. … He just doesn’t have foreign policy experts around him.

Holy shitfuck, y’all. Soooo … if Trump was president, and he just really wanted to use all those American nukes, how quickly could he do that? That’s what Scarborough asked Hayden:
It’s scenario dependent, but the system is designed for speed and decisiveness. It’s not designed to debate the decision.
WORLD GO BOOM LOL THANKS DONALD TRUMP!
ICYMI



So, the short answer to Trump’s question is actually that he COULD use them if he wants to murder millions of innocent civilians and bring about the apocalypse. If that’s what the crying baby wants — not the crying baby at that Trump rally Tuesday, the crying baby named Trump — then the crying baby could do that by putting his delicate child fingers on the big red button.

. . . .



Let’s start with that time America DID use them, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That may have effectively ended the war against the Japanese in World War II, but it was also the beginning of the Cold War, around the same time Donald Trump was born. At the time, Americans were pretty excited about their fancy new people-killin’ bombs, but it only took a couple years before global opinion coalesced around the idea that those bombs were fuckin’ bad, y’all. For an explanation of HOW BAD, please revisit President Obama’s historic speech in Hiroshima, where he explained that those bombs are fuckin’ bad, y’all.
