I thought that was pretty funny, still do. I don't think I can see the applicability here. Are you suggesting what the General said was no more serious than that?
It is for those who settle on the idea, of Trump being "unstable," for what he says.
The same suspects said the EXACT same thing about Reagan.
The general COULD HAVE said any one of several good responses:
--They suggested Reagan was unstable, too.
--Our nuclear protocols are classified.
--Nobody should doubt our resolve.
--We will follow the orders, of our C in C.
etc.
