Nancy Pelosi's working hard to convince people Trump's thinking about using nukes on his way out the door

When Trump entered office one of the Democrat narratives was that he’s a madman and will start a nuclear war. Four peaceful years later (as far as wars go), they’re ushering Trump out of office with the same rhetoric:

WHOA: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes & ordering a nuclear strike"

“WHOA”? Did anybody expect anything less from Pelosi?

CNN’s Jim Acosta was among those who helped push this latest attempt to freak everybody out:

And… In letter to colleagues today, Pelosi says she has spoken to the Joint Chiefs Chairman to prevent Trump from accessing the nuclear codes. https://t.co/RjS8VL0vQl pic.twitter.com/4kjpNWcU0P

Pelosi’s using such language in an attempt to convince Trump Cabinet members and Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment:

This morning, @SenSchumer and I placed a call to Vice President Pence to urge him to invoke the 25th Amendment which would allow the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to remove the President. We have not yet heard back from the Vice President.

So now “because he might nuke somebody” is the talking point of the day.
