Donald Trump asked a foreign policy expert advising him why the U.S. canât use nuclear weapons, MSNBCâs Joe Scarborough said on the air Wednesday, citing an unnamed source who claimed he had spoken with the GOP presidential nominee.
"Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why canât we use them," Scarborough said on his âMorning Joeâ program.
Scarborough made the Trump comments 52 seconds into an interview with former Director of Central Intelligence and ex-National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden.
Scarborough then asked a hypothetical question to Hayden about how quickly nuclear weapons could be deployed if a president were to give approval.
"Itâs scenario dependent, but the system is designed for speed and decisiveness. Itâs not designed to debate the decision," Hayden said.

Watch for, in the comment section of the very next article, a complaint from the same commentator about the legendary Democratic circular firing squad.

Dear Wilbur, you are the head of the Commerce Department. As one of the duties of the position you hold is to make sure Congress funds your Department. Funding levels need to be appropriated, and no Donnie canât slip you some bucks on down low. And since money is involved then there is Oversight. Sorry that itâs something that youâre not familiar with but you must have not read your job description. Besides Congress has ways of making you talk, get used to it asshole.

Very few Dems have the guts to seriously challenge republicans on much of anything. Over the decades, the GOP has cowed the Dems into believing that the country really is âright-leaningâ and, therefore, itâs politically unwise to fight for truly progressive/liberal policies. Ross is getting away with this because Dems are terrified of what it might appear like to voters; that Dems are being mean. Itâs pathetic. The GOP is nothing but a mafia organization these days; it threatens, extorts, holds hostages, lies, cheats, steals and otherwise just beats the living shit out of timid Dems. The other factor working against progressives is that republican economic policies enormously benefit rich Dems, so Dems arenât all that worried about losing either the House or the Senate. Ross will get his question on the census because the right-wing fights dirty and gets its way regardless of how its achieved. Thereâs never been a more appropriate time to restate the old adage: âNice Guys Finish Lastâ.

Since Democrats do not control the Senate subpoena process, it will take at least 2 years for them to issue a subpoena for Ross.
Pay attention, dear.
