Loving this Borowitz Report article from The New Yorker! LULZ!
"If I ever used nuclear weapons it would be really obvious that I was just being sarcastic.
Pressed by Blitzer to explain the difference between a sarcastic and non-sarcastic nuclear attack, Trump responded, Youd use the weapons and everything, but then youd say, Just kidding.

Just imagine President Donald Trump during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
"Go ahead Nikita! Bang your shoe and bomb us! We'll bomb you right back!"
Two days later, as Washington DC lays in ruins:
"Come on, everyone, I was joking! I was being sarcastic! Can't you see?"
