With a hat tip to Dr. Strangelove, Trump rides a nuclear bomb.
With his careless sabre rattling and threats – "[North Korea] will be met with fire and fury...the likes of which this world has never seen before"; the United States "will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea", etc. – Trump risks taunting us into a major conflict (Republican Senator Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, suggests that Trump's "reckless threats toward other countries...could set the nation 'on the path to World War III.'"). Trump reportedly wanted to increase our nuclear arsenal by 10 times, and within a single briefing asked three times why we couldn't use nuclear weapons if we had them.
Other flippant bombing-related comments Trump has shown this is not an aberration. For example:
“I would bomb the shit out of them. I’d just bomb those suckers. I’d blow up the pipes, I’d blow up the refineries, I’d blow up every single inch—there would be nothing left.” (Source)
“I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than [North Korea's], and my Button works!” (Source)
