Now, let's see all of you 'Libertarian' Trumptards fall in line and support nuclear warfare.
Donald Trump may launch unilateral nuclear attack, Hillary Clinton warns
Hillary Clinton has said she fears Donald Trump may try to launch a nuclear strike and that no one would be able to stop him.
The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate admitted she worries that the US President may launch a first strike in a fit of anger and said senior members of Mr Trump's cabinet are plotting to introduce new rules that would prevent him unilaterally ordering an attack.
Speaking at London’s Southbank Centre as part of the London Literature Festival, which runs until 1 November, Ms Clinton said: “There is such potential for miscalculation.”
She referenced an advert her team ran during last year’s presidential campaign that featured a former military member of staff whose job was to take the order from the White House to launch a nuclear missile. In the advert, the veteran warned against giving Mr Trump access to the nuclear codes.
Ms Clinton said: “A lot of people thought I was probably exaggerating it, but now we are worried and Congress is worried about whether they can take that power away from Trump so that in a moment of peak he doesn’t pick up that phone and call whoever is sitting in the control centre today.”
“I tried to raise it before and I’m raising it again here. It’s why members of Congress on both sides are trying to work out how they can contain [Mr Trump]. There was a recent bit of reporting which said that [Secretary of State Rex] Tillerson, [National Security Adviser HR] McMaster, [White House Chief of Staff John] Kelly, [Defence Secretary James] Mattis – they’re all trying to figure out how they prevent this.
Asked whether she thought Mr Trump may order a nuclear strike, she said: “I’m worried about that now. I had big differences with so many of the other people who have been President during my lifetime, but I never worried about that.
“Republicans and Democrats are scratching their heads trying to figure out how they interpose – maybe they’ll say [a nuclear attack] has to be jointly signed off by the secretary of defence and the secretary of state. Some are even saying there should have to be a declaration of war [by Congress].”
Amid polls showing plummeting public support for Mr Trump, Ms Clinton said she believes Republicans will seek to challenge the billionaire businessman in 2020 in a bid to stop him winning a second term in office.
