"I will tell you very honestly, Trump in the first term, at least when I was there, fantasized quite openly to advisers about wanting to blow up bombs. It wasn't more complicated than that, he didn't have this 3D chess strategy, he wanted to see bombs blown up. That was alarming to people. I'll tell you, there was a meeting, I remember leaving the White House Situation Room when we're in this conflict with North Korea."
"So look, knowing that, I'm not excited that the man with his finger on the nuclear button wants to go play practice pressing the nuclear button. We don't need to, the experts say we don't need to, and even if our adversaries are detonating nuclear weapons, it's not a good precedent to set for the United States to resume doing the same."
It was claimed that President Donald Trump openly fantasized about wanting to blow up bombs and to see bombs detonated, which alarmed advisers. The claim recounts incidents during heightened tensions with North Korea when President Trump tweeted at Kim Jong Un and engaged in unplanned brinkmanship. The claim describes a meeting in the White House Situation Room after which the secretary of defense warned colleagues to prepare for possible war. The claim expresses concern about a leader with access to nuclear weapons 'playing' with the nuclear button. The claim argues that resuming nuclear testing would set a dangerous precedent unnecessary according to experts.
