Interview on CNN, May, 4, 2016
CNN's ANDERSON COOPER: So you have no problem with Japan and South Korea having nuclear weapons?TRUMP: At some point we have to say, you know what, we're better off if Japan protects itself against this maniac in North Korea, we're better off, frankly, if South Korea is going to start to protect itself, we have ...COOPER: Saudi Arabia, nuclear weapons?TRUMP: Saudi Arabia, absolutely.COOPER: You would be fine with them having nuclear weapons?TRUMP: No, not nuclear weapons, but they have to protect themselves or they have to pay us.Here's the thing, with Japan, they have to pay us or we have to let them protect themselves.COOPER: So if you said, Japan, yes, it's fine, you get nuclear weapons, South Korea, you as well, and Saudi Arabia says we want them, too?TRUMP: Can I be honest with you? It's going to happen anyway. It's going to happen anyway. It's only a question of time. They're going to start having them or we have to get rid of them entirely. But you have so many countries already, China, Pakistan, you have so many countries, Russia, you have so many countries right now that have them.Now, wouldn't you rather in a certain sense have Japan have nuclear weapons when North Korea has nuclear weapons? And they do have them. They absolutely have them. They can't they have no carrier system yet but they will very soon.Wouldn't you rather have Japan, perhaps, they're over there, they're very close, they're very fearful of North Korea, and we're supposed to protect.

Trump Even Said He Would Not Take Using a Nuclear Bomb in Europe Off the Table
"Europe is a big place. Im not going to take cards off the table. We have nuclear capability. Now, our capability is going down rapidly because of what were doing. Its in bad shape. The equipment is not properly maintained. There are all lot of talk about that. And thats a bad thing, not a good thing. The last person to use nuclear would be Donald Trump. Thats the way I feel. I think it is a horrible thing. The thought of it is horrible. But I dont want to take anything off the table. We have to negotiate. There will be times maybe when were going to be in a very deep, very difficult, very horrible negotiation. The last person Im not going to take it off the table. And I said it yesterday. And I stay with it." -- Interview on Fox News, March 31, 2016

Even if that's the way she meant it, she's still projecting her own lack of imagination...

Wait, I thought the common wisdom was Hillary focused too much on Donny.
