Rachel Maddow points out a real faux pas by drumph re nuclear weapons

[BSdetect]

he said he would not take any option off the table and also that he would not use first strike.

A massive contradiction.

As she pointed out he did in fact take THE option off the table.


Does he know anything at all about anything.

[Ilsa]

1. He talked and talked but never answered

Hugh Hewitt's question about priorities in the nuclear triad.

2. Idiot

I love Rachel Maddow. She does a really good job of putting someone in their place without being rude but so funny at the same time. I kept listening for him to answer the question last night but it never came.

3. He also said he'd honor NATO agreements and break them, all within seconds of each other. nt

4. Here's his previous thoughts on nuclear from a rally july 15 2016

Emergency edit: Warning I am not responsible for any loss of IQ due to reading the statement below.


And he hasn't learned anything since.

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, okay, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, okay, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right — who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

5. Holy fuck. I've yet to see a statement he's made that makes any sense unless he's reading it.....

And frankly it appears he does not understand what he is reading. This is bizarre.

6. One other thing to note

About his speech. He mentioned he had "good" genes. I guess that's opposed to the "evil" or "bad" genes some other people might have.


Edit: He has brought up his "good" genes at other times. Dog whistle anyone?
