Tell us how he would be privy to such information.
He retired in 1993.
Seems he is looking for clicks.
Can you give us a reputable source that confirms this, OP?

Seems like a fake story. Israel would be the first to use nukes far before the US would.

Psychologically, it fits with Trump's impulsive profile, though. I don't know if it's true, but I would tend to believe it. He tried to pulled the same stunt with N Korea in his first term.

John Kelly had to talk him down. The signing of the paper, that Gary Cohn stole from his desk, was about a different but related matter, which would have ended up jeopardized the monitoring of the N Korean nuclear program. It's unclear whether Trump understood this or was aware of the totality of this highly secretive monitoring.

What's important is the pattern: that highly trained and responsible aides to the President are forced to do stuff behind his back, or forced to confront him directly (and then get fired and replaced with idiots), to prevent potentially disastrous nuclear consequences.
