    What would the reaction be if the leader of some other country with nuclear weapons asked in a speech to the UN: “Do I annihilate the United States, and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?"

    I expect there would be outrage, and rightly so.

    Might people who see Trump’s threat finally understand how evil he is and vote against him?

    Some might but, sadly, I think too many will not.

    Trump expressed in words what all states with nuclear weapons express quietly every day that those weapons are deployed. Monstrous? Absolutely.
