What Advisors Explained To President Donald Trump About Nuclear Weapons | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[MisterMitchMM]

"We don't know why Tillerson called the President a Moron".
Really? I can name about 20 reasons right away. Hmmm.

[cintula]

This getting out of control. Worse than a comedy scene.

[smooth_sundaes]

Trump goes well beyond stupid period! As President of the USA? That's inexcusable! America has so lost the plot

[markw]

10 fold increase. Man o man. What a dropkick. Does he want to vaporise the moon as well.

[denisearthur]

You can explain it, til u are blue in the face and he will still not get it!!!

[Finthefish-hrky]

You realize that this is the president of the United States of America! God help us all. Seriously.

[tanyanewman-warner]

Get him one of those adult coloring books with pictures he can tear out and frame.

[seanrector]

I hope they brought plenty of bright and colorful pictures to help Little Donnie understand

[Kari.F.]

It must be like living in the movie Groundhog day. You explain something in as simple terms as humanly possible. Donnie kind of gets it, and ten minutes later he has forgotten all about it, and asks the same question again. And you explain it. Again. He asks again. You explain it again. And so the days go in the White House. It's not day care, like Corker called it. It's patient care.

[Kiflaam]

I think this is what Rex Tillerson was talking about.

[brucehauge]

That is one small right hand. I am sure the brain is even smaller.

[peach]

Trump didn't understand? Surprised anyone?

[wesleyrodgers]

I grew up when the cold war was hot. I'd hoped I'd never see it again. But here we are. And it worries me greatly.

[shay]

It scares me as a History Minor I have had significantly more historical education then our POTUS- and it shows!!! 😳👎🏼

[gentboy]

Remember who said, why don't we USE them ...

[TheAmazingLucas]

Trump plays the media like a violin sometimes

[freddoflintstono]

Well, that puts an end to any rumours that Americans don't know what an understatement is. Given the context, "f*cking moron" is putting it mildly.

[itsjustmeagain]

Lesson from this--anyone running for the office of the presidency needs to be vetted. Congress needs to step up now. This is worse than it was in the sixties--I was ten when the last nuclear crisis happened. This is idiocy. He no regard for anything. He is worse than all the dictators put together-at least they understand the consequences.

[leonardfurst]

I worked for the Defence Nuclear Agency in medical research. When I was assigned part of the in briefing was all and I mean all the flim from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This put me off the use of nukes permanently! Also inviting anyone to use nuclear weapons means that for one large radius nothing solid state will work, permanently (unless "harden"). This would be due to Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). This would mean quick return to the Stone Age... Mr. Trump needs an immediate knowledge and emotional transfusion.

[cabindude]

Tenfold increase, is he MAD?! Oh that's right, he is.
