Let me guess, he’ll issue an Executive order for the stand down and dismantling of our nuclear arsenal. And Congress will stand by and let him do it.
Hillary will pledge to continue Obama’s legacy. When Trump protests, Paul Ryan will call him a racist.
Who would abide by this ? If president I wouldn’t.
I have a feeling you know the answer to that question.
What will he do with all the nukes he disables? Where do they go? Isis? Iran? NK? anyone know?

This is like saying to all the schoolyard bullies, “Go ahead and hit me. I won’t hit you back.”
