Once again, The Today Show/NBC gleefully trots out Trump to give him a free soapbox.

I believe this is officially described as a definite maybe.

Chuck Todd’s influence at NBC is apparently far-reaching. No wonder they’ve sunk to the bottom…

ā€œI will be the last,ā€ he said. ā€œBut I will never, ever rule it out.ā€

I’m sure that reassures our allies around the world.

Has anyone on his team told him that Isil fighters aren’t going to line up in one location, wearing t-shirts to identify themselves? And if they did, would he even listen?

And they totally don’t understand that it doesn’t benefit them. There’s no upside to have this side show freak call in to the show to display his ā€œforeign policy chops.ā€ I get that there’s the ratings to consider but after a while, the cons outweigh the pros.

Oh great. A thermonuclear Trump.

Yup - I’m sure Israel is excited to learn that nuclear fallout may be coming to their neighborhood soon!

North Korea: We are encouraged to see US following our path.

Between his lack of discrimination, bottomless ignorance, and need to appear cartoonishly tough, I think you’d have a hard time getting him to say what he would not ever use nukes against. Somali ship hijackers? Kashmiri separatists? Feral pigs in Arkansas? You’d have to go pretty far down the list, I think.

This is the person Reince Priebus says the GOP must unite behind, if he becomes the nominee. At a certain point, the welfare of the United States has to take precedence over party affiliation.

hahaha! They’ll stand in a giant Target logo that they spray painted on the ground for him to hit. I’m laughing. Your post made me laugh. Well done.

Do you really think Trump knows anything about Kashmiri separatists? If asked, he’d assume these were Trump-labeled sweaters which he has manufactured in China…

pretty sure we’ll never ever have to worry about you having to actually make that decision…

yep. As in…

Con: it completely destroys our credibility to give this idiot credence.

And even more disturbing is all of the voters that seemingly agree with or are too uninformed to even know what he is saying.

and what is this ā€œI will be the lastā€ nonsense? Does he think he’s running for Highlander? Anyone? Fellow nerds? Anyone get this reference? :smile:

Honest to Christ media…he did NOT ā€˜deliver a speech on foreign policy’…C’mon. He rambled on about HIMSELF and threw in words randomly. That is not a ā€˜speech on foreign policy’. It’s time to STEP UP and call him out on this BS. You have the GOP trotting out Corker, Gingrich and ilk to tell us how REAGANESQUE he was. BULL. It is incoherent garbage.

Good heavens, no. I’d be surprised if he’s aware there’s a state called Arkansas.
