    "Finally, to your knowledge, is Donald Trump really poised to become
    the most trigger-happy president yet?

    I wouldn't say that. Harry Truman obviously authorised the use of
    nuclear weapons on civilian populations in 1945. You also have to go
    back to the Kennedy administration. He was ready to use nuclear
    weapons after the Soviets put arms in Cuba. Richard Nixon was also
    ready to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam and had to be persuaded out of
    it by his advisors. So I think there have been more considered uses
    than most people realise. The only thing about Trump is that it's more
    overt, which might be an advantage. Who knows."

    I don't know if Trump is really crazy enough to start a nuclear war.
    He might be.

    But by the latest Quinnipiac poll, people think he's unfit.

    President Donald Trump is not "fit to serve as president," American
    voters say 56 - 42 percent, and voters disapprove 57 - 36 percent
    of the job he is doing as president, according to a Quinnipiac
    University national poll released today.

    ***

    Women say 63 - 35 percent he is not fit.

    American voters disapprove 62 - 32 percent of the way
    President Trump is handling race relations.

    President Trump is doing more to divide the country than to
    unite the country, American voters say 60 - 35 percent.

    Voters say 69 - 26 percent that Trump should stop tweeting.

    Voters say 51 - 27 percent they are embarrassed to have
    Trump as president.

    Trump is not fit, black voters say 94 - 4 percent.

    ***

    59 - 37 percent that he is not honest;

    60 - 38 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;

    56 - 42 percent that he does not care about average Americans;

    67 - 30 percent that he is not level headed;

    61 - 36 percent that he does not share their values.
