Olbermann: Trump Getting Nukes Seems More Realistic Right Now Than ISIS Getting Nukes

Former MSNBC and ESPN anchor Keith Olbermann appeared on The View to share a few laughs (and a bit of terror) about the idea of President Donald Trump––which Olbermann said could only be the end result of “the craziest dream” he’s ever experienced.

He said that Trump would be the “most dangerous presidential candidate” since the Civil War, and when asked if he’d be more dangerous than Richard Nixon or LBJ, Olbermann said this:

“Somebody said to me the other day… ‘What would happen if ISIS got nukes?’ Alright, so I said, ‘What would happen if Donald Trump got nukes?’ Which is the more realistic concern for us at the moment? I mean, the second one is a distinct visible possibility, and the first one is theoretical but very unlikely.”

Joy Behar said she doesn’t think Trump is necessarily being “self-destructive” on the campaign trail. Olbermann responded, “Have you heard anything he’s said recently?”
