22. I'm starting to suspect...

That DT is freshly immersed in this new world of politics, and possibly not cognizant of a good part of existing political and world history that one gets from non-business college courses and experience in elected office. As he learns stuff, his ego believes that he is the first person to have these sorts of ideas and he posts stuff like this, completely oblivious that a good part of everyone else is decades ahead of his understanding.

It's like coming in on page 10 of a thread and going "Hey I know what we should do! (posts duplicate idea about something brought up on page 3, discussed on page 4-6 and moved away from on page 7, fully believing nobody has thought of this yet)

I think he's just begun the reactionary 70s-80s Cold War phase of thinking. A good part of the world knows what's up with nukes and is standing just past the "come to its senses" finish line waiting for the Don to catch up.

(I suspect he also does not realize that the Cold War was with his best buddy Russia...))
