During his interview with Rolling Stone, billionaire Tom Steyer suggested a nuclear war may be needed to be a corrective course of action in response to Donald Trump’s presidency.
The nuclear war, according to Steyer, would also be needed because “disastrous” events happened under former President George W. Bush and he wants the faster option:
“I remember 2006. What happened is that George W. Bush, he put us in two disastrous wars and we were headed toward the biggest financial disaster since the Great Depression. So if the answer is that we need those three things to happen for a course correction, I’d prefer to move a little quicker. How about that? But I take your point. Maybe we can have, like, a nuclear war and then we get a real course correction.”
“Wow — that’s… sobering,” Rolling Stone’s Tim Dickinson replied.
“We’re trying to do what’s right. And 2006/2008 did not happen because George W. Bush didn’t get impeached, is what I’m saying. I should be a little bit more tempered: I take back that remark about nuclear war,” Steyer backtracked.
He continued:
“The correction happened because the United States got screwed, and American citizens lost their houses and American citizens lost their lives — and, by the way, there was a terrible climate-related crisis, New Orleans, that the president fumbled. So that course correction was based on the suffering of American citizens. We’re trying to act expeditiously to avoid the suffering of American citizens.”
We cannot allow a lawless president—currently under investigation by the FBI—to steal another seat on our Supreme Court. Americans deserve a voice in this process, and our leadership must stop Trump from bending the integrity of our courts more than he has already. pic.twitter.com/BL3y9mQaFN

Steyer has been on a mission to make sure Trump is impeached. Bloomberg reported he has spent $40 million on the Need to Impeach campaign, with an additional $30 million pledged to get Millennials to vote in the upcoming midterms.
