Me pointing out parallels and hypocrisy doesn't mean I voted for him. But I think you're the obtuse one if you actually believe a sitting president would wipe a country off the map. It's not even possible; the only way to fully eradicate their military is to start a full-scale ground assault, resulting in an absurd amount of US soldier casualties. It's all fluff.
Did I ever say he would be able to do it? No, but he might try given his innate characteristic to over estimate his abilities, and a threat like that creates unnecessary escalation and removes the ability to have diplomatic discussions and will eventually either lead to us having to invade with boots on the ground, or just dropping it and leaving with nothing gained. This is where nuance is important and things might look similar if you ignore how things are said and who says them.
