The words used in the article were "foreign policy briefing by an expert." When I read that I wondered if the expert was an academic and the meeting was arranged by Trump's campaign earlier this year. Obviously someone else was in the room for the story to leak. Would that have been the case if secret government information was being revealed?

One has to listen to hear. It was clearly stated that it is a briefing, which did not include sensitive information as it relates to what, how, when or by which means or which actions we take or will take, or plan to develop. a BRIEFING to identify a list of situations. Nothing more is privy until one sits in the Seat as President.

It is a briefing. BRIEFING= the action of informing.

Our government has been operating with good performance for 100's of years, one should know they are not novices at this. The disdain ONE Candidate has for and about the system, does not invalidate the system.

People who were actually in the room were on the Hannity show today and they said this was a lie.

The Republicans need to pull his candidacy and replace him with somebody else--anybody else. No other candidate who appeared on the stage with Trump during the primaries would have to ask the question, "But why can't I just nuke em??" Any one of them would be acceptable as a sane replacement. (Well, with the exception of that one other know-nothing, Carson.)

But the GOP is a party of cowards. You know they want to do it, but they lack the guts.
Neither party can execute a " do over" .

SCARBOROUGH: I have to follow up with that, I'll be careful here. Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump, and three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked, at one point, "If we have them, why can't we use them?"


Is this what you're talking about? It looks like a claim made by Scarborough, which was called a lie by people who were actually in the room with Trump.

Offshoring of jobs was and remain YUGE.

Yet the base does not seem to care all Trump retail goods are made offshore in Mexico, China, VietNam, Thailand and Bangladesh were the average wage is . 33/hr and the concept of childhood does not exist.

The Trump org applies for and recieves H2B visas and brings in foreign workers for seasonal, non- agriculture work instead of hiring US workers. He defends this practice due to a shortage of workers in season in Palm Beach? Despite recruiting and hiring foreign workers who travel thousands of miles to the job site, the org might look a tad beyond the city of Palm Beach.

Trump is on the record for his intention to make it easier for Mexicans to be legally employed in the US.
Trump favors increasing foreign worker visas.

I do not track those who buy into the rhetoric and dismiss very real business decisions to the contrary.

One would think that a nominee running on a anti - offshoring platform would cut all ties with foreign countries and bring those jobs home- you know- Walk the Talk.

And you people trip all over yourselves believing it.
I just got in, and I haven't read through all the posts. The question is, did Trump deny it?
