Twitter user Dave Bing offers Trump some helpful suggestions following his call to go "nuclear."

Donald J. Trump‏ Verified account @realDonaldTrump

Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s!

If you keep this shit up it’ll cost everyone $500 for a shopping cart full of groceries. It used to cost us $100 not long ago, now $200...your war on immigration will cost every single American not benefiting from ur tax cut swindle. Hope you get herpes from your unprotected sex

Scary times with the triumverate of idiots running the country. Kelly, Miller and trump are not only running our country into the ground but the international repercussions could be staggering.

10. He's using the term "going nuclear" as shorthand for the Senate's option

...if they should decide to do away with debate on the Senate floor, then they only need to pass it by simple majority (51%) rather than a super majority (60%). So this has nothing to do with nuclear weapons, it's just a term for how they might vote in the the Senate.

Probably not, but it seems consistent with his outlook.
