Listen to Gabbard’s 3 minute clip. Then listen to the President. Then tell me that their outlooks are consistent.
It’s NOT the clip. You don’t get that, clearly. The March testimony to Congress is in complete agreement with Trump, followed by decisive actions to support his decisions. The writers of this novelette conflate the two— and they are two different things as topics. Trump does not disagree with the opinions against nuclear war. Hardly, it’s been the subject matter of his most recent Putin calls.
