NEW YORKERS ARE TELLING TRUMP TO TAKE A SEAT AFTER HE TRIES TO INCITE PANIC FOLLOWING EXPLOSION.

*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.'>>>

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!

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...

Definitely doesn't compare to any major event like 9/11. I'm not really worried and she seemed fine.

My friend is there, visiting the apartment of a friend of his who just died. My friend is arranging things, preparing to close the apartment, 1 1/2 blocks from the explosion.

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