OK, so I guess I have to say something about my earlier tweet about the president and #nuclear weapons. I do not mean that I think the president will use nuclear weapons while he’s in the middle of rage tweeting. (As always, this is my personal view.) /1
Rather, I think it is important to remind the Trump supporters, constantly, that they elected someone whose job includes more than just triggering the libs. If Hillary or Obama were talking this way, Trump fans would have argued for committing them involuntarily. /2
I especially want Trump voters and GOP congressman to keep in their minds — again, constantly — that this president, like any POTUS, could be placed under immense emotional stress in a crisis at some point that *might not be about him* and on which our survival might depend. /3
When that happens – and it is only a matter of time — I want Trump apologists to remember that they had no compunction about giving nuclear control to a man who rage-tweets at Maggie “Habberman” and nobodies like Sam Nunberg. /4
What happens in that perilous moment will depend on whether they stubbornly stick by him, or demand accountability from their elected representatives, especially in the GOP. In the meantime, they should find a little less humor in the president’s weird Twitter explosions. /5
Because always remember, while you and I are reading those tweets, so are our enemies. And they’re taking notes for the day the shit hits the fan. They will be prepared. I fear we will not be. /6x
