Obama so cool - zinger on nuclear triad

Yesterday, Obama mentioned the nuclear triad. This was a zinger since Trump didn't know what that was during a debate. And, amazingly, didn't know the next time it came up.

I have decided it is a good thing he doesn't know. If he were to win, and wanted to nuke someone, he wouldn't know who to call or what to ask for !!

Nuclear triad: A nuclear triad refers to the nuclear weapons delivery of a strategic nuclear arsenal which consists of three components: traditionally strategic bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).
