Trump says privately that a terror attack could save him and GOP from 2018 election bloodbath

[RedFred]

In private conversations, Trump has told advisers that he doesn?t think the 2018 election has to be as bad as others are predicting. He has referenced the 2002 midterms, when George W. Bush and Republicans fared better after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, these people said.

So the media is going to admit that terror attacks are used to gain votes? lmao

I'm beginning to think Trump is a master at reverse psychology.

at least it helped bush to increase his poll ratings and to fight his war in iraq

You're right, he wouldn't say or think that, cause he's so selfless and puts everyone else before his own needs.

If not a terrorist attack tRump will first-strike North Korea. You can bet on this one. You can see the public preparation for this now. He and his minions are working up to the excuse they need to do it. Now talking about limited nuclear strikes to combat internet hacking. Really?

he couldn't do that without congressional approval first. Do you really believe he would get that for a pre-emptive strike?

you guys need to get a grip with this alarmist bullshit.

Could Anyone Stop Trump from Launching Nukes? The Answer: No


WASHINGTON (AP) ? Here?s a question rarely raised before Donald Trump ran for the White House: If the president ordered a pre-emptive nuclear strike, could anyone stop him?

The answer is no.

Not the Congress. Not his secretary of defense. And by design, not the military officers who would be duty-bound to execute the order.

As Bruce Blair, a former nuclear missile launch officer and expert on nuclear command and control, has put it, ?The protocol for ordering the use of nuclear weapons endows every president with civilization-ending power.? Trump, he wrote in a Washington Post column last summer, ?has unchecked authority to order a preventive nuclear strike against any nation he wants with a single verbal direction to the Pentagon war room.?

Or, as then-Vice President Dick Cheney explained in December 2008, the president ?could launch a kind of devastating attack the world?s never seen. He doesn?t have to check with anybody. He doesn?t have to call the Congress. He doesn?t have to check with the courts.?
