Further Insanity from The Donald

The number one most popular person, nearly unbelievably, in polling regarding the race for the White House, for the presidency in 2016 and he now said the following stupid thing:

Trump: I Will Absolutely Use A Nuclear 

Weapon Against ISIS

Oh, yes he did:

NEW YORK, NY – In response to a question regarding his policy on ISIS, Republican presidential candidate and billionaire Donald Trump told Meet the Press on Sunday that as Commander-in-Chief, he would authorize the use of nuclear weapons to combat Islamic extremism...

Mr. Trump said he’s already conferred with a number of high-level active military officials and has put together a comprehensive strategy to defeat the Islamic State within his first one hundred days in office. “It starts with the deployment of four or five of our Ohio-class nuclear submarines to the Persian Gulf,” Trump said. “We’re going to hit them and we’re going to hit them hard. I’m talking about a surgical strike on these ISIS stronghold cities using Trident missiles.”

The Trident is a submarine-launched ballistic missile equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles, or MIRVs. With a payload of up to fourteen reentry vehicles, each carrying a 362-pound thermonuclear warhead with a yield of 100 kilotons, a single Trident has roughly seventy times the destructive power of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.

Not only is he willing to use nuclear weapons and on the Middle East but read that last sentence---"a single Trident (missile) has roughly seventy times the destructive power of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki..."

Insane. Truly insane.

Trump’s plan to use thermonuclear weapons against ISIS-held areas such as the Syrian city of Al-Raqqah would result in an astronomically high number of civilian casualties, according to CNN military analyst Peter Mansoor. “Al-Raqqah alone has a population of over two hundred-thousand people, the vast majority of whom are not affiliated in any way with the Islamic State,” Mansoor said. “A strike of this magnitude would not only result in the loss of millions of innocent lives and infrastructure, but it would set diplomacy and stability in the region back at least a hundred years.”

Not to be done there and certainly not to be outdone, The Donald also thinks it a good idea to have our military, our American soldiers, in the war theater, too:

Trump's foreign policy plan includes 

boots on the ground

So not only does he think he can rather willy-nilly bring about the use of nuclear warheads on the Middle East, on the planet, but that American soldiers should also be "on the ground" there, too, if---heaven forbid---he should be elected president.

To whom does any of this, any of it, make any sense?
