The past few days of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign have been fraught with missteps and controversy. But things took a more chilling turn when on Wednesday, Joe Scarborough, alongside his MSNBC colleagues, was chatting with retired four-star Gen. Michael Hayden and the Morning Joe host relayed an anecdote about Trump he had been told.

“I’ll have to be very careful here,” Scarborough said slowly. “Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on international level went to advise Donald Trump, and three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked, at one point, ‘If we have them, why can’t we use them?’ That’s one of the reasons why he just doesn’t have foreign policy experts around him.”
