I hate to break this on Easter day... [View all]

If the fact that a sitting President can say this publicly and isn't rapidly removed indicates to me that no one will stop him when he decides to launch nukes.

Dear God help us.

No one else is

I'm cringing with embarrassment that an American president wrote this. Absolutely cringing.
