They knew before they voted for him and they did not care. So now the world has this......

We knew. We knew before the election that Trump was as unstable as any unstable man could be. We knew he was boorish and petulant and not too bright. We knew he did not see too much of a problem with nuking Europe if the need arose and he certainly did not see the point of having a nuclear arsenal unless you were happy to use it. We knew that this man should not be in charge of the big red button of doom, and therefore shouted from the rooftops that this man should not be elected.

What we now know is that the wankers that actually voted for this buffoon concede that they knew all along exactly what kind of man -child Trump is and yet they voted for him anyway. Reportedly they just wanted to shake shit up. Not only could this be described as white privilege writ large, but one the biggest collective selfish acts that 63 million people committed against the rest of the world. They knew what he was and they voted for him anyway.

And now we have this:



Boom!

about it. We have seen him in action for nearly a year now and I think he has proven to be
a blowhard and a coward. How many times has he threatened to sue someone and never carried it out?

What if Un decides to take the challenge and show Trump his nukes work? Trump just issued that challenge! And are you saying that if Un steps up and strikes at the US, Trump and his ego will not feel a need to retaliate? If anything, not enough is being made of this.

Un is not as crazy as Trump. I think Un is crazy like a fox and Trump is crazy for real.

The thing is the perception of what is said.
WE know what he is but we don't have access to a fledgling nuclear program.

...the standing of the tribe is enhanced by having a great enemy. Neither of those two is socially much beyond a tribal mentality.

Or 3rd party voters. They all knew what was at risk and decided to go for it.

Just don't want misinformation to continue to be passed along, unless 73 million voters is some accumulation of some number we're not commonly aware of. A typo maybe?
