*New Yorkers, however, were characteristically calm in the face of the fear Trump had hoped to drum up. Rather than give into paranoia, the city that knows full well the dangers of terrorism, began tweeting their reactions to the explosion. No fear. No hysteria. Just courage and energy. And just a dash of humor.'>>>

(6,829 posts)During a foreign policy briefing several months ago, Trump asked three times in an hour, "If we have them, why can't we use them?"

Makes perfect sense to me. Sounds like Don is gonna use them, cuz, you know, why have them if we aren't using them?
Did Don live through the same cold war mutually assured destruction times the rest of us did? Is he utter oblivious to the madness of nuclear war? Did he even see Dr. Strangelove? Did he remember the fear of all the adults during the Cuban missile crisis?
Does he want to drum up business for his Trump bomb shelter business? Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper for President!

(63,912 posts)I remember how I couldn't get through to him on 911 and was scared to death...he was safe, living in Brooklyn and watched the twin towers come down from his roof. He said he cried...
The explosion took place in Chelsea not the LES, so a relief...

Glad everyone's ok. Friend says, tho area is full of cops etc, things are peaceful.
