... consider the possibilities:
... Trump literally doesnt know the difference between truth and lies ...
Trump .. thinks that ordering a review magically makes things happen.
Trump is surrounded by sycophants who have assured him that the US nuclear arsenal is stronger than it was six months ago ...
Trump is losing control of his faculties. He vaguely remembers some kind of nuclear order and figures it must mean that our nukes have gotten better ...

(10,749 posts)He doesn't care.
He doesn't care about anything or anyone other than himself.
He doesn't care if NK nukes Guam. Or Hawaii. Or Alaska.
He doesn't care if the US nukes NK.
In all instances, he is not harmed physically or (as frightening as this may be) emotionally.
However it turns out, he sees it as a win for him. And that's all that matters to him.
And if no one nukes anybody, that's a win for him as well. Because it was his threats that kept NK at bay.
So that makes it a win-win, regardless of what happens. Or doesn't.
Fucked up? Sure. But that's the bizarro world we're living in.
