Now that it appears DonaldTtrump has a legitimate chance to become the next president, it may behoove Americans to consider what he has said about how he would deal with nuclear weapons.
It’s not exactly comforting that Trump has written others “are surprised by how quickly I make big decisions, but I’ve learned to trust my instincts and not to overthink things.” In 1984, he arrogantly told the Washington Post that he wanted to negotiate nuclear treaties with the Soviets, boasting, “It would take an hour and a half to learn everything there is to learn about missiles. I think I know most of it anyway.” In 1990, according to Bruce G. Blair, a research scholar at the Program on Science and Global Security, at Princeton, Trump told U.S. nuclear-arms negotiator that the way to a “terrific” deal with Soviet negotiator would be to arrive late, stand over the Soviet negotiator, poke him in the chest and bellow, “Fuck you!”
