If Putin lobbed a bunch of nuclear missiles at us, would Trump authorize a response?

Is a question I never thought I'd have to ask about a US president.

If so, then no. He would not see a problem.

We won't be around to savor any revenge, in fact, no one will be.

Trump would not respond, and I know in my heart of hearts one of the Joint Chiefs will draw the short straw, and cap that f’ing traitor.

A message will go out, and our Trident equipped fleet will rain hell upon the transgressors.
