Here's the rest of Trump's comment to Mika and Joe.

President-elect Donald Trump offered “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski a shocking explanation Friday for his alarming Thursday tweet on nuclear weapons, the journalist reports.

Brzezinski said she asked Trump to explain his position on nuclear arms in an off-air conversation earlier that morning. Co-host Joe Scarborough called the president-elect’s response “not quite the clarification that we would expect.”

Trump allegedly told Brzezinski, “Let it be an arms race. We will outmatch them at every pass. And outlast them all.”

I heard that crap
my whole childhood. I had nightmares about nuclear war when I was in gradescbool. People built bomb shelters.

The John Birch Society was alive and well.

Those were the good old days.

The Cons have been dying to use nukes for 50 years. Trump is going to do it, that much is assured.
