Trump's self contradictory statement on the use of nuclear weapons

Washington Times:
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday again refused to rule out using nuclear weapons in the fight against the Islamic State terrorist group, saying he will not be a “happy trigger” but that he wants to have an element of unpredictability.

“I don’t want to rule out anything,” Mr. Trumpsaid on NBC’s “Today” program. “I will be the last to use nuclear weapons. It’s a horror to use nuclear weapons. The power of weaponry today is the single greatest problem that our world has, and it’s not global warming like our president said. It’s the power of weapons, in particular nuclear.”

“I will be the last to use it. I will not be a happy trigger like some people might be. I will be the last,” he said. “But I will never, ever rule it out.”

Mr. Trump said one of the tenets of his foreign policy speech Wednesday is that “we need unpredictability.”
...
It takes a sloppy and weak mind to be this incoherent.  He says he wants unpredictability and then says he will not use them until someone else does?  He must have fired his proof readers.
