I don't really get the scare around Donald Trump and the nuclear codes. It seems to stem from questions he's been asked purposefully to make people scared about whether or not he would use these nukes.
Every leader in every country with nukes is potentially going to use nukes, and there would be a sense of unpredictability about it as there is with any attack on a country in that you don't tell the country what you're going to do when you're attacking them.
So asking Donald Trump would he use nukes is pretty pointless, every country with nukes has them because they will potentially use them, otherwise the cost of their upkeep and the cost of keeping them secure is a total waste.
It's no surprise Donald Trump said he would potentially use them, the only other answer could be no he would never use them and he's going to get rid of them, which would be much more surprising and I don't think any president is going to do that.
Secondly Donald Trump having a brash bold personality doesn't really mean much to me. Tony Blair had the personality of Hugh Grant, a total stereotypical tea drinking soft spoken British guy and he took British troops to war more than any other prime minister. A lot of those wars having been accused of being pointless wars.
When you listen to Donald Trump speak, and your take away is "brash bold personality"
Well.. I got nothing
