9. I'm pretty sure he'd launch the missiles anyway, if Putin insults the size of his dick.

And I think he would have installed a ABM missile shield over Trump Tower by then, at taxpayer's expense.

airman can decide not to laugh his missile and it will not be launched. Of course the other airman man shoot the first one, but then he still can not fire it.

U.S. fighter jets got into a confrontation with Libyan fighter jets in August 1981, and ended up shooting them down. I was relieved to find out that nobody even bothered to wake Reagan up to let him know what was going on. That was proof that everybody knew he was just a front man, and if there was a crisis afoot, the country was much better off if he was asleep at the time.

(That was also followed by the funniest line of Alexander Haig's tenure as Secretary of State. When he announced at a press conference that Reagan was not informed when the incident began because "The President was in a 'sleep mode' at the time." What a bufoon.)

You know the kind that starts throwing shit about the room because he didn't get his way.

I can see it now.

Putin(example) gets out of line. Trump gets all pissed, starts throwing shit around the room and finally gets on his little red phone and says "nuke em". Later he says he probably should not have done that. That is, if he survives.

It's friggin scary.

Trump starting anything. What I'm imagining in my mind is Trump pissing off that evil little tyrant Kim Jong-Un, bruising his ego, and him retaliating with some missile launches.
