About the nuke thing, Conway was on Rachel Maddow last night, I could only listen for a few minutes as watching Conway is what it must feel like to be attacked by Dementors.
She basically brushed off Trump's tweet saying that his tweets just mean he wants to protect the US, that they shouldn't be taken as shifting in policy (and falsely equivocated Obama's $1T modernization of the nuclear system with Trump's statement to expand capability), that by expand he doesn't mean expand just that he'll do whatever to protect people.
The world is probably going to have to learn that what Trump says isn't worth the pixels it's displayed on since he'll say anything and it's based on what he's heard in the last 10 minutes only; the past norms of a president's words being measured and a decent indication of policy or intent is gone, because Trump certainly isn't capable of modifying his behaviour. Ignore what he says and focus on what he does I guess.
Regarding Trump's tweets about Eric Trump's charity, so ****ing stupid, either Trump is, or he thinks everyone else is to buy his whining.
