Recreational Use

Trump's infantile 'mine' assertion of ownership of classified documents made me think of his abuse of his authority over federal stockpiles of medical gear during the initial covid outbreak--very much not 'his' but try to tell him that. This is someone who, having grown up so incredibly disadvantaged, needs to assert himself wherever and whenever possible. 

Anyway, that made me think of the awful possibility of another Trump presidency, a run for which is becoming more likely as the investigation into his crimes increases. So much dirt. And, that made me think of the even worse possibility that he will try to loose some nukes during another term, feeling the world has failed to treat him as well as he deserves.

Which is, of course, impossible because he is infinitely deserving as are all the American billionaires and brigands or they wouldn't have gotten so rich in the first place. I looked it up, the question of restricting the president's total authority over the use of nukes, and it's being considered in response to having the Trumpian man-child in office the first time. 

Immediately they distinguish between first-strike authority and retaliation but in the event of another Trump administration we will have to consider the possibility of recreational use since he's such a clueless, egotistical and arrested piece of shit. He will apply the 'mine' principle to the nuclear arsenal, making it his for a personal whim or private vendetta. 

This is not something to be tolerated . . .
