Trump campaign: "What good does it do to have a good nuclear triad if you’re afraid to use it?" [View all]

Yesterday, a Trump campaign spokeswoman advocated using nuclear weapons, to end 'perpetual wars'.

On The O’Reilly Factor tonight, Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson attacked Republicans for pushing endless war and talking tough. And then she asked, “What good does it do to have a good nuclear triad if you’re afraid to use it?”

Another right wing guest did tell her that the point of nuclear weapons is to be afraid to use them, but this seemed to fly over her head.

I fear that a Trump presidency would end up using nuclear weapons, just because they're there. It's like the Fed and the interest rate rise - there's no sign of inflation, employment is still not that high, but they went ahead and raised the interest rate, just because they have the power to do so, and haven't done it for some time. Trump, and the kind of people he surrounds himself with, would nuke somewhere just to show that he's not 'afraid' to. The consequences for others of his actions don't enter into his brain.
