Trump’s “madman” strategy isn’t madness—it’s mathematically optimal.

Maybe, maybe not, but either way you’ll never persuade me he was ever aware of that.

Edit: But more importantly, just because you can argue that you can handle the detonation better than the other bloke in the room, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to press the big red button. What kind of lunatic logic is that? Do these people realize that these numbers represent real human fates, or do they just not give a fuck?

Keep the cope alive!
