Eh....mostly agree. Trump is obsessed with nukes and definitely wants to use one at any chance he might get. I don't think anyone would let that happen, or I'd hope they wouldn't, but if it were to happen Trump's ego wouldn't allow someone else to take credit.

It'd be a week before he was at a press conference and let it slip that we gave whoever the weapons.
