I'm sure Osama bin Laden thought Obama was a wuss right up until that bullet went straight through his cranium.
Truth is the military complex in the US largely operates on its own, anyway. The president's job is actually to restrain it from doing something stupid, like say invading Iraq or having a land invasion of Cuba when there are nuclear weapons on the island or not understanding that Vietnemese didn't care how many bombs and Agent Orange you dropped on them, they didn't give one fuck, they would fight to the last man/woman/child.
A president who doesn't have that nuance or intelligence in his arsenal is just going to be led around by his military generals like a puppet on a string.

Bin Laden got a bounty on his head during the Bush administration.

Oh, they are afraid of Trump alright. But they are already that regardless of any nuclear arsenal expansions.
One must ponder what exactly can 10,000 nuclear warheads do that our current 7,000+ cannot? How much of a difference that does that make on the fears of our enemies (and allies who will become enemies on a Trump whim)?

It's not about the tally of nuclear weapons, it's about the USA being taken seriously again. People just laugh at Obama for such things as what happened a few days ago where he signed a bill or something about religious freedom for atheists worldwide.

Yeah and the Bush adminstration failed to find him for seven years, instead running off to Iraq and killing a leader that had nothing to do with 9/11.
JFK's generals thought the Russian's were "laughing" at the US for not invading Cuba ... truth is JFK likely saved the world from World War III.
IMO, if Trump was president, in a situation like that, it would have turned out to be a disaster. He is going to be led around like a dope by military generals who know all you have to do is stroke his ego a bit and challenge his manhood to manipulate him into going along with anything.
That is not a good leader.
