How Easily Could President Trump Order A Nuclear Attack
Metro ^ | November 8, 2016 | Rob Waugh

Posted on 11/09/2016 5:43:49 AM PST by Strategy

Anyone who's followed Donald J. Trump on Twitter will know that he has an explosive temper - which might be a bit of a worry when he commands the world's second-biggest nuclear arsenal.

But could he really unleash nuclear holocaust if he was a bit annoyed?

He genuinely could - so quickly, in fact, that devastation would reach the other side of the globe quicker than most of us could order a pizza to our doors.

If Donald Trump were to give the order to attack, no one can countermand it - the military will simply check the codes, and fire.

Officers may resign, but the attack would still go ahead.

Lol...it really does feel like 1980 again. Will Lady Gaga learn German so she can cover 99 Luftballons?

How long before the “antiwar”/”peace” protesters stage their first rally in 8 years?
How long before the first media reports on the homeless again?

Their engines are warming up right now. Amazing how much worse homelessness, child hunger, energy costs are during a non-Democrat Presidency - according to the LEFT and its enablers. The LEFTIST MSM has the playbook ready to go!

There was this animated show called Pinky and the Brain where Hillary caused a Global Thermonuclear War with Canada.

Seeing Trump has business interests around the world, why would he possibly nuke them?? As previously mentioned, an uncontrolled temper does not get one far in the business world....especially in the international arena. The author is an idiot or actually hoping for a war.

Or, I am guessing, the kind of temper that had her so po-ed she could not even come down to speak to her followers after losing.

SO BADLY!!!

Rent a mob. And we know that they do pay for protesters (came out in the leaked emails plus I’ve seen the fliers soliciting protesters to relocate for paid jobs in the Bush era).

And we know that they know how to get their actions onto the broadcast and published media.

Mrs Thatcher....the Iron ‘Lady’, was as level headed and strong as any man in her position.
I could have easily have voted for Sarah Palin,

This is the SAME crap that was said about President Reagan.

Now that we know how that all worked out, I can relax a little.

After just a couple hours of sleep that I had last night, that video will give me nightmares if I decide to take a nap this morning! Oh my goodness.

That didn’t take long for their little mush filled skulls to panic about. Trump will appoint the best Cabinet we’ve seen since Reagan, including Joint Chiefs.

LOL. This is one of the many benefits of a Trump win. We get to see Liberal lunatics write articles like this, breathlessly predicting that Trump will start a nuclear war. They said the same thing about Reagan so I guess Trump has that going for him.
