[Eisenhower] To Press Secretary Jim Hagerty who pleaded with Eisenhower not to answer any press conference questions about the delicate Formosan Strait crisis, March 23, 1955. (Eisenhower was, indeed, asked asked if using atomic weapons on China was an option. He delivered a long, confusing reply which was effectively indecipherable.)
I wonder if Trump's recent Tweet storm about China was also geared to be equally indecipherable. But at least it wasn't about nuking China (the stakes are much lower today than people would have you believe).
