Trump is someone who's understood the basic social norm that it's not considered OK to be racist but lacks the self-awareness to actually look at himself in light of that.

HULK SMASH!

I don't know how we explain Trump to future generations without looking stupid by association.

The United States should have adopted a no-first-use policy after the Cold War ended. It's rational for countries with a superiority in conventional weapons to seek to maintain the nuclear taboo and, conversely, for nuclear-armed countries without such a superiority to imply that they'd use what they've got.
