If this were Ireland, Chump would be be dismissed as a "fooking eejit" and that would be that. If this is a (fair & balanced) look into the mind of a patient in a padded room, so be it.

Trump Says He Would Only Use Nuclear Weapons In A Sarcastic Way
By Andy Borowitz
TagCrowd cloud of the following piece of writing
Clarifying his position on a key national-security issue, Donald Trump said on Friday that as President he would be willing to use nuclear weapons, “but only in a sarcastic way.”
“People who are worried about me having the nuclear-launch codes should stop worrying, OK?” Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “If I ever used nuclear weapons, it would be really obvious that I was just being sarcastic.”
Pressed by Blitzer to explain the difference between a sarcastic and non-sarcastic nuclear attack, Trump responded, “You’d use the weapons and everything, but then you’d say, ‘Just kidding.’ ”
Trump did not specify which nations he would target for a sarcastic nuclear attack. “I can’t say right now,” he said. “But there are a lot of countries that need to lighten up.” Ω
