1:00:52 We would be in World War II very quickly if we're....

Thats not a gaffe. Thats a type-o.
What he said about nuclear weapons and the destruction is true. He--....its worse. The US army did a study (in 1990) that it would take a total of about 10Megatons of nuclear weapons to disable the USA to the point of non existence. Thats 23 300KT strategic nukes (city busters) and 60 50KT tactical nukes. The study mentions that one 50KT nuke over a city like Chicago would create more burn victims than all the burn centers in the country combined could handle.

That same study estimated that 5000Megatons of nukes existed among all nuke capable countries (again in 1990). If you use Hiroshima as a metric ie 15KT kills 100K people, then 5000MT will kill 33Billion people. Thats 5 times the world population. There will be nothing left...and nuclear winter to follow.

I’m just tired of the Trump/DeSantis pouncers who blow the silliest and sometimes totally untrue claims about the two men. Biden should be our target.

Trump had a slip of the tongue, not a gaffe (clumsy social interaction) and not a typo (writing error). And DeSantis doesn’t eat pudding with his fingers. Both of their campaign teams need to grow up.
