No 'dark' whatsoever. Everything I stated is in the public record, the historical record. The 'intelligence' of the discussion never dimmed, on my part.

I'll take that back if you can point out anything about Trump that you find reassuring in the context we've been discussing.

Context is everything. We're not talking about a well informed emotionally mature person in charge of our nuclear triad.

Trump's Terrifying Nuke Answer at the Debate Should End His Campaign (But It Won't)

Trump didn't even understand the question, but that didn't stop him from answering

Hewitt: "Of the three legs of the triad, though, do you have a priority? I want to go to Sen. Rubio after that and ask him."

Trump: "I think – I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me."

The devastation is very important to him. That flailing nonsense is the best Trump can manage. A reasonably well-informed fifth grader could come up with something better.

The problem isn't simply that Trump doesn't have detailed plans to make sure our nuclear weapons are safely maintained. The problem is that he doesn't understand even the most basic premise of a relatively simple question.

He couldn't muster a "I'll make sure we have the most modern, best nuclear arsenal the world has ever seen," because he didn't know what he was being asked.

Imagine handing over the nuclear codes to a man with the comprehension skills of Donald J. Trump. Do you honestly believe he would understand the consequences of using them? Trump is obsessed with tough-guy machismo. How much provocation does he need to press that button?
