And say what you want about Hillary Clinton, if she were President we likewise would not be worrying about a damn nuclear war. She'd most likely be spinning her wheels in a gridlock with a Republican Congress, but our former Secretary of State certainly wouldn't be needling crazy Kim Jong Un, making off-the-cuff ad-libs about plunging the world into a fiery Armageddon, or bragging that her arsenal was bigger than everybody else's.
Because nuclear war never really was Hillary's thing.
Donald Trump, on the other hand...well remember how much and how often he liked talking about nuclear weapons during his campaign? How often he said we needed more and better and bigger and newer nukes? And then there was that spine-chilling Donald Trump quote about nuclear weapons that was the tip-off: "If we had them why can't we use them?"
Having a super-sized nuclear arsenal in his holster is Donald Trump's thing, as he made clear during his campaign and now, as President, he continues to drive home to the world.

And that which those of us who feared a Donald Trump Presidency most feared - that that he would lead us into a nuclear war - that fear now stares every American in the face.
And over what? What? What?
The smoking hostility that's threatening to pull us into World War III is really just a war between two bullies over their things.
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are in a global thing-swinging contest.
| Whose is biggest? Whose is most potent? Whose will rape the other's country first? Or the worst? |  |
Who'll get bragging rights afterwards, when 60 million people in Southeast Asia and the United States have died in the war and the rest are slowly dying of radiation poisoning from the nuclear fallout?
Who do you suppose will win the war of the things?
