A new section of the book “Donald Trump v. the United States” has revealed previously unknown details about the former President’s administration. According to the book, written by New York Times Washington correspondent Michael Schmidt, President Donald Trump discussed the idea of using a nuclear weapon against North Korea and suggested he could blame a U.S. strike against the communist regime on another country.
The book also details former White House chief of staff John Kelly’s efforts to defuse tensions between Trump and North Korean despot Kim Jong Un. Schmidt told MSNBC’s Morning Joe that Kelly was “incredibly worried” about Trump’s rhetoric towards Kim, which was “out of control” when Kelly first joined the administration. Despite Kelly’s warnings about the potential for mass deaths in North Korea and the tanking of its economy, Trump was not moved.
The new section of the book is set to be published in paperback on Tuesday. It provides an extensive examination of Kelly’s life and tenure as Trump’s chief of staff from July 2017 to the end of his administration.
The revelations in the book come as tensions between the U.S. and North Korea remain high. Trump’s alleged comments, if true, demonstrate the seriousness of the situation and the potential consequences of a nuclear conflict. The book provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the Trump administration and the efforts of Kelly to protect the United States from a devastating war.
