Donald Trump Has No Clue About Nukes

Earlier this year, it became blatantly obvious that President-elect Donald Trump had no idea what the nuclear triad was. Earlier this afternoon, Donald Trump exposed himself once more as a know-nothing when it comes to nuclear weapons. Here, in short, is why it’s blatantly obvious why he has no idea what he’s talking about.

As we noted last time, when it became blatantly obvious that Trump had never heard the term “nuclear triad” before, here’s a quick an easy explanation:

For those who, like Trump, have no idea what the nuclear triad is, that’s okay, we still love you, as you are not running for president. It refers to the American military doctrine of having land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-based ballistic missiles, and air-dropped bombs, all tipped with nuclear warheads. In an atomic shootout, all three fulfill different strategic and tactical uses based on whatever situation is at hand.

and how all countries downwind of wherever he throws a nuke are going to declare war on us because we just attacked their population, also.

He's ignorant and he's going to stay that way because he's got early dementia, can't retain anything new, and doesn't care, anyway.

and benzodiazepines. The latter might already be happening, I notice he's not having as many Twitstorms at night.

but that would probably encourage him to use them. The man's mind is warped.
