What would the reaction be if the leader of some other country with nuclear weapons asked in a speech to the UN: “Do I annihilate the United States, and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?"

I expect there would be outrage, and rightly so.

Might people who see Trump's threat finally understand how evil he is and vote against him?

Some might but, sadly, I think too many will not.

    No, but you see, the US is doubleplus good and Iran is doubleplus bad.

    Trump expressed in words what all states with nuclear weapons express quietly every day that those weapons are deployed. Monstrous? Absolutely.

    he also threatened to choke Cuba.

    All this proves how useless the UN actually is.

    The saddest thing is that UN delegations clapped at the end of this lunatic rambling.

    The only real question this person asks himself is whether he is going to rape his own daughter or someone elses child later that day.

    This is fucking insane. Imagine, as a counter argument, president Jinping stepping on stage and saying he's thinking of annihilating Israel? Madness.
