.realDonaldTrump discussed using nuclear weapon against North Korea in 2017: Report
The discussion came during a period of heightened tension between the United States and North Korea, and allegedly alarmed then-Chief of Staff John Kelly, the afterword of the book detailed. The new portion was part of the New York Times' Michael Schmidt's book "Donald Trump v. the United States," which will go on sale in paperback on Tuesday.
The former president also used tweets to goad the communist country, even claiming at one point that he had a"larger nuclear button" than leader Kim Jung Un. However, Kelly was more concerned about Trump's conversations that happened in private. Kelly attempted to discourage Trump from using a nuclear weapon against North Korea, by highlighting that people would still point at the U.S. if such an attack occurred. Other military leaders also attempted to dissuade Trump, even citing the civilian toll, which allegedly did not sway the former president. Discussions about the economic consequences of such an action swayed Trump temporarily, but he went back to the idea of war with North Korea multiple times.
