In light of this revelation:
Donald Trump asked a foreign policy expert advising him why the U.S. can't use nuclear weapons, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said on the air Wednesday, citing an unnamed source who claimed he had spoken with the GOP presidential nominee.
"Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why can't we use them," Scarborough said on his "Morning Joe" program

what crises would Drumpf have used nuclear weapons:
-The 1960 U 2 incident where Soviets shot down an American spy plane
-The Cuban Missile Crisis where the Soviets placed nuclear equipped missiles in Cuba in 1962
- The North Koreans seize the USS Pueblo in 1968
- In 1979 Iranian students storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and take fifty two hostages.
And in what instances going forward do you see Drumpf using nuclear weapons and what will be the fallout beside the obvious one?

I'm worried about his dealing with China, since by all appearances both Putin and he are anti-China by default.
I'm also worried about North Korea, and could see tRump using North Korea as an "example" of what will happen if you cross him.
