Expert flags 'dark fantasies' Trump left hiding in plain sight

A foreign policy expert raised alarms that President Donald Trump has been fantasizing about using nuclear weapons.

The president will turn 80 years old in two weeks and has shown signs of age-related health issues, according to The Daily Beast's David Rothkopf, and he flagged evidence that Trump is itching to unleash a nuclear weapon as he nears the end of his life.

"He can't stand up," said Rothkopf, founder and CEO of TRG Media and The Rothkopf Group. "When he was standing with XI Jinping, his legs were played in three different directions. He could, you know, he can't walk at the same pace. He can't hold himself up. You know, he only goes short distances. He gives long speeches, and he has to prop himself up on the podium in a way, you know, that reveals that he is losing it physically. So I don't think there's any doubt about it now, and he's 80. Should we be surprised?"

"He's had a good life and he should be at Mar-a-Lago sitting by the pool, having a margarita, talking to his friends about things he used to do," Rothkopf added. "Unfortunately, he is a disturbed, sick lunatic who holds the most powerful job in the world and is at a stage of his existence where, because he's a narcissist, the only thing he cares about himself, and if every single one of us ceased to exist, he wofuldn't care because the world is him."

Aside from his apparent pathologies, Rothkopf pointed to other evidence that Trump is considering the unthinkable.

"There are other things we don't talk about," he said. "Look at the defense budget, where there's hundreds of billions of dollars in there for new nuclear weapons programs, where he wants to have nukes that he can use that are more usable, that, you know, these building, he thinks he can build a 'golden dome.' He thinks he can build a White House bunker where he can be safe, and yet people on the roof can be firing at people down the streets of Washington."

"This guy's got some dark fantasies," Rothkopf added, "and in all of those fantasies, the role we play is victim, and that's scariest s---."
