How do you know The Dotard isn't talking about "equal to" them?

I might worry if he (say) tore down part of the White House before he was well-prepared, but we're talking here about somebody whose uncle was at MIT!

Even though Congress rejected ratification of the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty in 1999, we have observed it by continuing the moratorium.

I believe Trump means to end that. The hated Clinton's advocated for the ban and therefore any good that came out of the effort must be erased.

He'll throw a tantrum of some sort when he gets the news that he can't do what Kim Jong Un does, and do it right now!

God knows what new horror will come out of that tantrum.

There’s some valuable discussion in the thread and it’s a good example of how rational people are open to new information as it comes to light.
