Chris Matthews asked Donald Trump about using nukes during tonight’s MSNBC town hall, and boy did Trump put him at unease…
Trump has recently talked about letting more nations have access to nuclear weapons, and Matthews asked him about using them in the Middle East or Europe.
Trump said he would be “very slow and hesitant” on the matter, but Matthews wanted to know why he’s openly talking about using nukes at all, saying, “You got hooked into something you shouldn’t have talked about.”
The Donald continued to explain, “Look, nuclear should be off the table. But would there be a time when it could be used, possibly?”
He refused to take it off the table in the Middle East, and even Europe. Matthews bewilderedly asked, “You might use it in Europe?”
Trump said “I don’t think so,” but when Matthews pressed him to give a straight answer, Trump again said he can’t take any cards off the table.

No point having nukes if you aren’t willing to threaten to use them.
No thrill up the leg? Chrissy needs a good ole fashion azz whoopin. He’s screaming for it.
Chris Matthews wants us to throw our nukes away? Is he nuts?
for the record..... St Petersburg is in Europe
The US’s weapons will be destroyed after Obama’s Summit
Bad judgement.
Every President since Eisenhower has said that NOTHING is off the table.
Smart. You should never rule out anything. Keep them guessing, but never sure.
The left went insane when Reagan suggest that a limited nuclear exchange in Europe might be possible. If the enemy is confident that you won’t use the nukes then they aren’t a deterrent.
Trump again demonstrating that he lacks the knowledge and rhetorical skills needed to handle basic interviews.
Trump, the shoot your mouth off first and then think baffoon, is going for the all time record for stupid stuff said in a 7 day period.
“GO! GO! GO! GO! YOU CAN DO IT!
What? Chris Matthews bewildered?
What would make anyone think to ask Trump if he would use nukes in Europe?
With a question like that, it is obvious that whatever Trump answered, Matthews had a trap waiting for him.
By saying that he would not put all his cards on the table could actually be the correct response, but the country is so at the mercy of the lying assassins in the MSM that they can take a response like that and run like a bunch of wild asses in the desert and try to make people think they have an issue.
The country is on the brink of oblivion brought on by liberals and Obama and the average person cannot grasp the seriousness of the situation.
The thinking that has brought us to this point can not rescue us.
Any good negotiator knows, you NEVER take anything off the table.
The Pershing II missile deployment plan sent the soviets into fits.
It depends on the context.
