Irate Trump gives reporter a tongue-lashing over 'stupid question' about nuking Iran

President Donald Trump fired back at a reporter who asked if his recent social media posts about destroying Iran are also a threat to use nuclear weapons in the conflict."Why would I use a nuclear weapon? Why would a stupid question like that be asked?" Trump fired back in the Oval Office on Thursday when a reporter asked him to explain his social media posts threatening Iran. "Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we've totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it? No, I wouldn't use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody."The reporter was cut off before she could read out which social media posts by the president sound nuclear. Trump had a confusing and ominous Easter post where he told Iran, "Open the [expletive] Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."Trump also said he'd "obliterate" Iran in March. He's also given vague deadlines to open the Strait of Hormuz that have been pulled back.
