    Because him, or someone in his cabinet, watched “A House of Dynamite” and it made them all horny for nuclear war.

    His brain’s completely gone. Squash-rot.

    And his malignant narcissism requires ever-greater displays of destruction and ugliness. He cannot believe that, when he leaves this world, he’ll be no more missed than a flushed turd.

      He desperately wants to say “We have the greatest nuclear tests, people come to me with tears in their eyes and thank me for all the nuclear tests!”

    Been saying this since his first term: he has been looking for an excuse to let a nuke off the chain.

    He’s threatened it multiple times, and provoked situations that could have led to using one other times.

    Only ONE country and president has ever used a nuclear weapon against actual human targets, and he wants to be seen as a big man by being the second. He has absolutely no idea what that means.

    He wanted to use them on those illegal Iran strikes, and thankfully the military shut that down. The only thing between DONALD TRUMP, a failed businessman and reality TV persona launching another nuclear attack on this planet, and that not happening is just a few people.

    Sit with that for a few minutes.

      Real headline is “Trump is confused”, although it not a news, just slow news day filler

      When asked recently if he would invoke the Insurrection Act, Trump repeatedly emphasized that he was allowed to do it. And I’ve noticed several other times when he used the same excuse.

      I’ve seen a lot of psychopaths in real life and in the news who had the same perspective. You’ll see it in a couple of days, actually, as it happens every year probably in every city that people will leave a bowl of candy out for Halloween, and somebody will take all of the candy out of the bowl, and if confronted, they’ll just say that it’s not illegal. Or for the news example, you’ll see the guy who killed an intruder, but if you listen to the way he talks about it, it seemed less like self-defense and more like he’d always wanted to kill somebody and managed to find a way to do it “legally”.

      Trump is almost certainly a psychopath. He doesn’t have a conscience, and so it is natural for him to think that he should be allowed to do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn’t suffer any consequences. He wants to kill people with nuclear weapons, and so he’ll likely figure out a way to start a war just so that he can legally do so. And if that doesn’t work, then he’ll settle for this kind of shit. Just like a little shitstain future serial killer child who starts fires to see what he can get away with.

      He’s so transparent. It’s still difficult for me to fathom that even a single other person, outside of his family and inner circle, voted for Trump in the last election.

        I remember reading after Trump’s first term about how Bill Barr would have to dangle death row inmates he could put to death in front of him like dangling keys in front of a baby to keep Trump focused, listening, and on task.

        You’re absolutely correct, he’s absolutely obsessed with harming others.

        There are lots of psychopaths in a population of 350 million who can entirely relate to and feel excited by having one of their own as a leader.

      Remember his excitement when he got to play wroom-wroom with the big car?

      It’s like that, I reckon. He knows there’s this Big Bad Button that “only the most powerful man gets to press” but that - to his confusion and consternation - none of them ever did. Now he’s that man, and by God, he’s going to find a way to Press That Button.

      If the adult diapers weren’t hint enough, he’s basically a baby in a room full of bottled nitroglycerine.

    That’s not the only point he is confused about, actually. And not only about the “why”.

    I swear, they think the same shit that worked 80 years ago, in regards to show of force, is just bang up to stuff in the modern age.

    “Seems like something that would piss off lots of libs. Also I have more nukes than anyone which makes me the most powerful.”

        It’s exactly this. Him and/or people in his cabinet.

        The administration literally put out a statement saying that the portrayal of our defensive capabilities in the movie are inaccurate.

        They just couldn’t not comment. Like just shut the fuck up, it’s a movie, it’s not real. You don’t need to comment on it goddamn. They are so fucking fragile.
