"I don’t want to alarm you, and I hesitate to even mention this,
but I couldn’t sleep knowing that Trump has the power to launch a nuclear bomb."
"As commander-in-chief, he is the only person in the United States with the authority to launch a nuke.
No one else need be consulted before he does. No one else can veto such an order.
Not even the vice president or secretary of defense has the power to stop it.
I hope to god he doesn’t. I don’t think he would."
"But what if he’s provoked? What if he feels that his manhood or his authority or his status is being threatened?
What if he just wants to demonstrate to Americans and the world how strong he is?
Again, I doubt this will happen, but the risk is not zero."
