With Mueller breathing down his neck, it seems that Trump is getting even crazier. He's no doubt looking around for something wild enough to distract everyone, including Mueller. And in Trump's deranged mind, launching a nuke at North Korea might be the answer. After all, he doesn't give a crap how many deaths occur. We know that all he cares about is himself and his own well being.
So if Trump were to order a nuclear attack on North Korea, would the generals in the Pentagon obey the order? Hopefully not.

(6,377 posts)Yes, he's insane. And an idiot. And a psychopath. But even he knows that launching a nuclear missile, unprovoked at North Korea, would result in immediate impeachment from both Democrats and Republicans. Seriously, he would be out of office within a few days and his legacy would be cemented as the worst president in US history.
He's dumb, but to Trump, his image is everything, and he's not going to launch a nuclear missile knowing that it would result in his immediate removal from office.
I'm sorry, but I see this thread appear two or three times a day.

(67,112 posts)swirl in his head plus some say he has dementia, and additionally is narcissistic and sociopathic. So, that all said, I don't see him as a person of sound reasoning and/or fully understanding the implications of his actions, especially under severe stress. In essence, he's a loose cannon rolling around.
