That Donald Trump has a huge ego is no secret. And that he can be easily provoked into taking reckless action is also no secret.

So the fact that after Mexico’s President announced that he had in fact told Donald Trump that Mexico would not be paying for Trump’s wall, Trump changed his speech should also not be a surprise.

He just couldn’t help himself. He had to respond. And not just respond, but say that Mexico WILL pay for the wall but they just don’t know it yet. He didn’t have the courage to say it to his face. He didn’t have the decency to discuss it. He simply made a declaration to a bunch of frothing, riled up racist Trump supporters.

But the thought of someone that is so easily provoked being in charge of our military should scare everyone. And the thought of someone with such a strong need to prove himself better, stronger, richer, more powerful, or more right being in possession of control of our nuclear arms should scare everyone on the planet.

I sure it know it scares me!
