Is Trump Stable Enough to Handle Nuclear Codes Unless We Are Attacked

Trump's Con-Man Card Trick With Our Future

Trump has two aces up his con-man sleeve: 

1. Get tax reform for his BFF's, and if that fails…

2. Take us to Def Con 1 vis-à-vis North Korea.

GOP thrives on those two issues: Tax cuts for the top (to trickle down) and new war to show strength.

FYI: During the Cuban missile standoff with the old USSR in October 1962, we went to Def Con 2 for the first time in history – now under Trump, who the hell knows:

DEFCON 5:  Normal peacetime readiness
DEFCON 4:  Normal, increased intelligence and strengthened security measures
DEFCON 3:  Increase in force readiness above normal readiness
DEFCON 2:  Further increase in force readiness; less than maximum readiness
DEFCON 1: Maximum force readiness.

DEFENSE EMERGENCY definition: Major attack upon U.S. forces overseas, or allied forces in any area, and is confirmed either by the commander of a unified or specified command or higher authority, or an overt attack of any type is made upon the United States, and is confirmed by the commander of a unified, or specified command or higher authority.

AIR DEFENSE EMERGENCY definition: Air defense emergency is an emergency condition, declared by the Commander-in-Chief (e.g., Trump) to North American Aerospace Defense Command. It indicates that attack upon the continental United States, Canada, or U.S. installations in Greenland by hostile aircraft or missiles is considered probable, is imminent, or is taking place.

So, I ask: Does Trump have the best mental stability on his own to avoid war unless we are directly attacked? On the surface, I’d have to say hell no.

Stay tuned.
