Witness his obviously complete lack of knowledge about the nuclear triad.

That is a nothing burger at the early stages of the campaign trail. Trump is certainly aware (as most Americans) of the fact that we have nukes in submarines, in missile silos and on manned bombers. The term "triad" is merely a descriptive term assigned to our defense posture by mostly intellectual eggheads. If Trump was or was not familiar with it, is not a deal breaker. That's why Presidents have national security advisers.

“That is a nothing burger at the early stages of the campaign trail.”

Exactly.

That was a stupid gotcha by uber GOPe mouthpiece Hugh Hewitt.

Knowing arcane jargon or not means nothing.

Interesting turn of events is that Hewitt is now a huge Trump booster, always talking about his brilliance.

Trump will be on Hewitt’s show today.

Then we’ll agree to disagree. The term has been in use by more than intellectual eggheads for decades and, in my mind, a candidate for president ought to be at least somewhat conversant in such things.
