You must be a well adjusted person and don't follow his speeches or interviews a lot.
If you're as brain rotted as me you'll learn his "jokes" or "I'm not saying buts" are him testing responses to actual things he wants to do.
He has been talking about "the N word" (Nuclear) for awhile. He wants to be a president that is remembered. He doesn't view history as a person with morality would. He does not care if he's remembered as a Hitler. He definitely would drop a nuke if the opportunity presented itself.
The only thing stopping him is the restraint of people in his admin. Not the people we see on TV. But the actual military leaders. And these military leaders are not moral either. They are simply concerned with whether is it strategically helpful to use one. Nukes are really not useful in warfare. I think this is literally the last line of sanity that keeps it from happening. We are all relying on war crazed genocide supporting military leaders to not see it as a good strategic option.
However, Iran is different. Trump cannot admit it was a mistake. His ego will not let him. And the military cannot secure trade routes without boots on the ground and tens of thousands of American military deaths.
So, well, those military leaders are being put in a corner. My only hope is that a military coup would be much more reasonable to them than dropping nukes. Trump wants to drop a nuke. But he wants to drop "the best nuke". The "most strategic nuke". Something that he will make him a great figure in his mind. Not a good figure. Not a moral figure. But in anyway that will be remembered with importance.
I hope someone can convince him that dropping a classic would be best and then we have a sideshow Bob situation
