But i worry what he'll do once he watches the social media across the world follow suit. He still has the nuke codes and a deep seated need to use them. Against China? Against Taiwan? Against us? Or just various countries around the world who've offended him. It would follow the pattern of vindictivness he's instituted against states right here in the US.

Past behavior often predicts future behavior. China sealed the deal making him the most dangerous man in the world, IMO.
