>>I’ve heard speculation that the false alarm was a deliberate attempt to provoke Trump into pushing his big button and thereby start a nuclear war so he could then be impeached.
I wouldn’t go that far. It was an attempt to show that people are so scared of Trump that this alert would seem credible (i.e. “no one would have thought this was real when Lord Obama was Master of the Universe, but now this crazy man makes me feel scared all the time”). Then, the talking heads on the TV box take that adolescent hysterical fear and use it to claim that Trump’s “insanity” is affecting us all and that’s why he must be removed at all costs.
Put NOTHING past these people.
NOTHING!
