In case you missed it, in the debate when asked by Lester Holt:
“On nuclear weapons, President Obama reportedly considered changing the nation's longstanding policy on first use,”
Trump's answer was very confusing. Why? Because he very well might be confused.
Well, I have to say that, you know, for what Secretary Clinton was saying about nuclear with Russia, she's very cavalier in the way she talks about various countries. But Russia has been expanding their—they have a much newer capability than we do. We have not been updating from the new standpoint.
I looked the other night. I was seeing B-52s, they're old enough that your father, your grandfather could be flying them. We are not—we are not keeping up with other countries. I would like everybody to end it, just get rid of it. But I would certainly not do first strike.
I think that once the nuclear alternative happens, it's over. At the same time, we have to be prepared. I can't take anything off the table.
AND This isn't the first time he's been confused.
Let's go back to primary debates, when he was asked by Hugh Hewitt about the Nuclear Triad.
He didn't know what Nuclear Triad was. See the video below. He gave a long convoluted response. After that, Marco Rubio explained what Nuclear Triad is.
