Guest post: We get our hair mussed

Originally a comment by Screechy Monkey on The remarks were cryptic and left room for broad interpretation.

Trump: “So remind me again why I shouldn’t nuke ’em?”

General (desperately wishing he’d taken that retirement): “Well, sir, first of all, the immediate impact would involve the deaths of millions of innocent civilians.”

Trump: “But foreigners, right?”

General: “Well, yes. And there would likely be millions more casualties in the long-term due to fallout and increased cancer risks….”

Trump (eyes glazing over, tiny trigger finger itching)

General: “…uh, and also, there would likely be a reprisal.”

Trump: “Yeah, but not nuclear, right?”

General: “Actually, yes. Their nuclear capabilities consist of…”

Trump: “THEY’RE ALLOWED TO HAVE NUKES? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?”

General (pondering how to explain the history of nuclear proliferation to a man with the attention span of a mayfly): “….well…”

Trump: “IT WAS OBAMA’S FAULT, WASN’T IT?”

General: (sighs)

Trump: “Ok, so they nuke us back, we get our hair mussed a little… well, not my hair, ha ha…”

General (grasping for inspiration): “well, Mr. President, it is possible that the enemy chooses to retaliate somewhere where you own property.”

Trump: (pouts, sighs, pulls out phone) “Fine. I’ll just tweet at ’em, then.”
