Funny story (and true).
In the mid-60s, a think-tank group in Washington D.C. produced a study on the efficency of nuclear weapons and on how quickly the conflict in Vietnam could have ended if they were used instead of mass troops.
Lyndon B. Johnson invited the group to the White House, specifically to ask them if the algorithm they had used for that study could also measure how quickly it would take for Americans to scale the White House walls if he ever did that.

Trump is the gift that keeps on giving.
You know I wish he had given the name of his source but that's frowned upon in Journalism if the guy was speaking on terms of anonymity. Which he most likely was.
Joe Scarborough used to be on the Trump train and he no longer is. Maybe comments like that changed his mind on Trump.

This guy is literary a Nuke himself. Not suprised he said this though.

I don't particularly like Joe Scarborough but I haven't heard of him making stuff up.

At this point, if he was to actually win, would it be acceptable for someone to assassinate this mad man? Surely the safety of the world as we know it is at risk if he becomes president.

Right, I believe it is true, but I came into this thread expecting evidence that Trump actually stated this. It'd be a smoking gun if he had.

It'll be interesting to see if he doubles down on this or denies it. If he doubles down then he's surely finished.

Yeah I mean if the statement is real, that's incredibly scary, probably the most scary thing I've heard about Trump the entire campaign. It is a bit of hearsay though, so that adviser might have to come out into the public eye eventually.

Im honestly back to Trump sabotaging Republicans, i just don't believe he is this stupid.
I've seen Threads, Trump is the most likely person in years to throw us Brits into that scenario. Americans, for gods sake go out and vote. If I hear a single one of you voted Trump because "you thought he wouldn't win" or didn't vote Hillary because "I knew she was going to win" then I will be so severely disappointed.

All you're doing then is making him a martyr and ensuring that the people who'll follow him will be even crazier.

The problem isn't whether Trump said it or not, the problem is that Trump is now a candidate that everyone would believe he could say it.
Trump stopped being funny a long while ago. Honestly, I don't even care anymore about the misogyny, racism, bigotry, xenophobia, petty insults and everything else. This man is a threat to the world.
When you actually do not understand why we cannot use nukes and are advocating for using nukes against others and arming more countries with nukes, you are a threat to the security of the world and I would vote for any candidate that isn't you.

Oh, shit. I'd seen him before but I thought he was just a regular host at MSNBC.
I'm not American, please excuse my ignorance!

Understood, but at this point the only way to make a point to Trump supporters is with actual evidence. Otherwise they'll just claim it's a conspiracy from the establishment to discredit Trump. Yes, I know his supporters also gleefully ignore hard evidence.
Edit - unless of course Trump doubles down on it today. I can only hope he does.

I guess it's time for Reince Priebus to drop the Lucky Charms and just go straight for the bottle. Well, by now its probably bottles.
Does the public service's mission of cleaning up after the political elite extend to assassination or do they just have to vainly try to talk sense into him as the world burns?

I'm convinced at this point that this man will be responsible for the deaths of a huge percentage of the human race if he wins.
