Wait until he hears about Katy Tur's book.
If we're using "made up" stories as the catalyst, considering he lies constantly, at what point is it appropriate to challenge his presidency?
This is the NBC report. It states that the meeting at which Trump said he wanted "a nearly tenfold increase" in nukes is what prompted Tillerson to afterward call him a moron. I'm sure that picked at his so recently formed scab. It went on to discuss another meeting in which it is claimed that his Pentagon advisers decided he was too ignorant to be dealt with like other presidents.
Thus the article's "nearly tenfold" description, which Trump is calling simply "tenfold" and "pure fiction." A lie or a technical error on his part? Both, no doubt.Officials present said that Trump’s comments on a significantly increased arsenal came in response to a briefing slide that outlined America’s nuclear stockpile over the past 70 years. The president referenced the highest number on the chart — about 32,000 in the late 1960s — and told his team he wanted the U.S. to have that many now, officials said.
The U.S. currently has around 4,000 nuclear warheads in its military stockpile, according to the Federation of American Scientists.

The ultimate reason is that the architects of the constitution wanted a path to avoid what we would now call a cool. I believe Franklin referred to it more brutally as assassination. You need a constitutional framework – not acts outside the constitution or legality – by which a President who is clearly dangerous to the Republicans or not capable of filling the job can be removed. The odds of this happening any time soon or any time during Trump’s term seem close to nil. But this is the kind of President it was designed for.
