Morning Joe calls on GOP to stop Trump before he starts WWIII: Theres something called the 25th AmendmentTravis Gettys 11 OCT 2017 AT 07:46 ET
MSNBCs Joe Scarborough called out Republicans for remaining silent as President Donald Trump senselessly provokes World War III.
The Morning Joe host has been sounding the alarm about Trumps fascination with nuclear weapons since August 2016, when he revealed that the then-GOP nominee challenged foreign policy experts to explain why the U.S. could not use them in war.
Every Republican senator on Capitol Hill has the record before them, Scarborough said. Calling for a tenfold increase in nuclear weapons, having the most powerful Republican on Capitol Hill saying Donald Trumps erratic words and actions are leading us towards World War III.
He challenged Republicans to push back against the presidents provocations.

(779 posts)How many of these republicans were even alive during Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the entire world said 'never again' the footage on cinema screens was horrifying and defied belief, it would take days to recall all of what transpired.
And yes, I am old, I was a child at the time, in the UK, the experience of seeing and listening the reports still stay with me.

(14,337 posts)Cuban Missile Crisis in the 60's. Trump is certainly old enough to have had to hide under his desk for bomb drills in NYC schools; public and private schools. He was never taught about radiation poisoning in school?
Did his rich Daddy build a bomb shelter under his house in Queens? Those of us living in Manhattan were told to take shelter down in the subways.
Does Trump, and similar age Republicans, have amnesia?

(5,815 posts)who is with him in his late night/early morning rages? Everyone talking about Kelly, Maddis and Ivanka being on site to help contain this dangerous man acts like his handlers are with him 24/7. Is this so? I doubt it. So if he were to go into one of his explosive rages, who would stop him from doing something unthinkable? Has the military been instructed to take his whack-doodle commands with a grain of salt until they hear from one of the handlers?
Some with more than an inkling of knowledge about his personality defects say that being repressed in his urges to fight back when thwarted or slighted will result in increased rage. So it stands to reason that the more they try to contain him, the more he will resist and the urge to get even will rise. He could resort to even more devious means to get the release that he obviously gets when he hits back.
So someone with knowledge (not assumptions) please weigh in. Are there medications that help someone with tRumps psychological problems? Are there people on site with him around the clock to monitor for signs that he has flipped out and started WW III? Melania does not count. She is his arm candy (for now) and is only interested in how much of his money she can get her paws on. She wont risk losing her access to the moola by pissing him off.
P.S. tried to edit to put apostrophe in subject line Presidents but it wont allow it. 😕

(28,270 posts)The POTUS has the sole authority to launch a nuclear strike 24/7/365.
Trump expressed wonder over not using said weapons during the campaign.
Now he can't wait to start nuclear WW3. It's coming soon.
Always believe a would be dictator when he tells you who he is.
