4:12Now PlayingAccording to reports, White House officials are worried that Trump’s mental instability will cause him to “accidentally” start a nuclear war with North Korea, and also that Kim Jong-un’s instability could do the same thing. Unfortunately, these aides also say that they won’t do anything to reign in Donald Trump, so we don’t have any hope of internal intervention. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

As I'm sure everybody is aware at this point, on Tuesday evening Donald Trump tweeted out a threat to North Korea basically saying that, "I also have a nuclear button just like Kim Jong-un, and I'm not afraid to use it, and mine actually works." White House officials according to reports have spoken to reporters and said, "Yes, we're very worried about the situation happening right now with the president." They're telling reporters that they're afraid that Donald Trump is going to quote "accidentally start a nuclear war."
Now, the reason they say accidentally is because they understand that Donald Trump is not a mentally stable human being and that there is something very, very wrong with his brain and his thought process. However, they won't do anything about it. They've essentially admitted that. They know that the president is crazy. They know that he can't be trusted. They know that he is prone to just sudden acts of anger and violence, and they believe that that could easily lead us into an accidental nuclear war with North Korea, but they just don't do anything about it.
At this point, every single person working inside of that White House who is not actively trying to talk Donald Trump out of starting a nuclear war is complicit. They are accomplices. Standing by and refusing to do nothing as your boss is slowly losing his mind and slipping further into dementia and threatening nuclear war on another country, yeah, you do nothing about that, you're an accomplice. You're just as culpable as he is at that point, and I hope every person inside of that White House who has expressed concern to the press but that does nothing to stand up to the president, I hope you understand that this is also on your shoulders.
Now, these same White House officials have also expressed concern about Kim Jong-un, because they have admitted that he is probably mentally unstable and prone to just quick acts of anger without actually thinking through the consequences, so they're also worried that Kim Jong-un could start an accidental nuclear war with the United States. But think about what that means. I think there's probably a general consensus here in the United States that Kim Jong-un is a pretty crazy guy. He is a brutal dictator who makes most of his country live in abject poverty without enough food, without enough electricity, with no access to the internet, unable to leave their country for any reason. The guy is a dictator who needs to be removed from office.
Yet, White House officials expressed the same concerns about him as they do with Donald Trump, so what does that tell us about Donald Trump? Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un are cut from the same cloth. They might have grown up under different experiences, they might have different net worths, they might have different values, which I seriously doubt, but at the end of the day they're both crazy, power hungry individuals who will stop at nothing, who do not value human life enough to avoid casualties to obtain more power.
We're just pawns in the middle of all of this, quite literally in the middle of all of this, while these two men in their positions of powers with their declining mental stability keep threatening each other with their ongoing pissing match, and we're going to be the cannon fodder. We're going to be the ones caught in the middle of all of this, of the bombs dropping, should this happen. Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un are one in the same, and just as much as we think Kim Jong-un should go, we should all be in a consensus at this point that Donald Trump also needs to go.
