I'm not saying he's lying, but that's a pretty flimsy accusation. No name, no date, just unnamed foreign policy expert says it happened. Honestly I find it irresponsible for him to even put such a serious claim out there if he isn't willing to source it

Old article from March 2016. More about nuclear weapon than Trump, but it's about Trump also. I was ok a few months ago with Trump access to nuclear weapon. But the last few weeks show that he is simply too unstable and I have changed my mind. Not only shouldn't he have such a direct line to launching a nuclear attack, no single person should in the future. I hope the US gov changed their mind about unlimited power at the hand of the president for launching a nuclear strike. http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/03/07/donald-trump-is-an-idiot-savant-on-nuclear-policy/
I can understand why it is that way in some situations, in case of say a Russian nuclear attack or say a alien invasion, you might not have time for a committee meeting etc, you have to make decision right away.
Wouldn't it be irresponsible for him to reveal the source who may have given the information on condition of anonymity? And wouldn't it also be irresponsible, when having the information, not to share it with the public given the seriousness of it?
I don't put much faith in the credibility of this report. That said, I don't trust him with nukes either.
alien invasion being included in that interview... at that point I think I would just feel sorry for Trump. Yikes
Mathews did a silly little trap. All presidents have not taken nukes "off the table". Trump just couldn't or was too lazy to defend common US superpower policy...
