This is definitely something one of his advisors told him while prepping his oafish ass for negotiations at some point “what ever you do don’t say nuclear, it is like the n-word of international diplomacy, just think of it like that Don, it’s very bad to say”

and he thought it was funny and now its like a personal bit only he understands

This gives me the impression he did it on purpose

it’s very nice and cool and normal that most people in this administration would like to drop both kinds of n-bomb
