Motley, your point is well taken that the President has the "authority" to do something. However, your whole line of reasoning gives me a chill and seems like a "Guns of August" scenario where seemingly minor events turns into the horrific stupid result called "World War I". We could easily have a nuclear event that rivals WW I. Trump's narcissistic brinkmanship between he and the North Korean "Rocket Man" probably is why over half the country does not feel he is fit to be President. How about you? Certainly you would have to agree at this point that he is unfit to be President and represent us in this very dangerous situation.
