"process of nuclear" is that a nuclear bomb drop or ... ?
It's what you think it is.

He's non-answering with a non-idiomatic euphemism, rather than having the balls to say nuclear bomb.
process?
And then they walked it allllll back...
AIPAC’s apology for Trump speech is unprecedented
This morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu experienced something that American politicians have become all to familiar with: Being overshadowed by Donald Trump.
The prime minister's video-linked speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's conference was preceded by the unscheduled introduction of AIPAC President Lillian Pinkus and four other leaders. Choking back tears, Pinkus apologized for Monday night's speeches, implying that Donald Trump had violated a nonpartisan standard.
"From the moment this conference began, until this moment, we have preached a message of unity," said Pinkus. "We have said, in every way we can think of: come together. But last evening, something occurred which has the potential to drive us apart, to divide us. We say, unequivocally, that we do not countenance ad hominem attacks, and we take great offense to those that are levied against the president of the United States of America, from our stage."
Trump's speech, which he largely recited from a teleprompter, was actually notable for its low level of invective. A candidate who has mocked Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-Fla.) thirstiness, Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) looks, Jeb Bush's energy level and Carly Fiorina's face, confined his criticism to Obama to a few tossed-off insults.
"With President Obama in his final year -- yay!" said Trump, adding an exclamation not in the text, and earning huge applause. Later, diverting from his text again, he called the president "maybe the worst thing to happen to Israel."
[No boos, but plenty of awkward foreign policy debate at AIPAC]
For AIPAC, already criticized for giving Trump an invitation, the rhetoric needed condemnation.
"While we may have policy differences, we deeply respect the office of president of the United States, and our president, Barack Obama," said Pinkus. "There were people in our AIPAC family who were deeply hurt last night, and for that, we are deeply sorry. We are disappointed that so many people applauded the sentiment that we neither agree with, or condone. Let us close this conference in recognition that when we say 'come together,' we still have a lot to learn from each other, and we still have much work to do."
But no AIPAC speech had been criticized like Trump's. Jane Eisner, the editor-in-chief of the Jewish news source The Forward, wrote that she was "ashamed that any of my fellow Jews could applaud" Trump.
"I am ashamed that they would suc b to the pandering lies," she wrote. "Donald Trump ought to have been received civilly but silently by AIPAC. Instead, the applause spoke volumes."
Chemi Shalev, a correspondent for Israel's Ha'aretz, left the Trump speech in shock and asked how fellow Jews could have applauded it.
"The enthusiastic reception given Trump could very well deepen the fault lines inside the Jewish community that were uncovered over the summer in the bitter clash over the Iran nuclear deal," he wrote. "It was good enough to transform Trump from a morally repugnant presidential candidate into a run of the mill contender who deserves as much respect as the others."
It was the reaction -- wild applause now available to view on Trump's campaign website -- that was officially rejected by AIPAC.
They're just sorry the crowd applauded and cheered
Why are journalists telling the jewish community who and how to ssupport, tbh? Trump excites the average joe, not in the know people.
Journalists? That was the AIPAC presidentThey're just sorry the crowd applauded and cheered

Still, he had by far the fewest cheers and applauses though. If you watched any other, you would see the difference.
I saw Hillary's, Trump's and Kasich. The former and latter had explosives reactions.
Didn't watched Cruz's but read he had a good crowd as well.
What did he specifically apologize for, Splits? You read it, right?
He apologized for the crowd because the AIPAC tried to distance themselves from Trump - mostly because of the anti-muslim rhetoric.
The "editor in chief" and correspondent had the only real criticism for Trump.
Your bottom bolded part even pointed that out, tbh
"they" obviously don't represent the cheering crowd. Stupid was in tears
Yeah this article isn't working out for Splits as he'd hoped. It shows the Jews aren't being duped by the left's attacks on Trump.What did he specifically apologize for, Splits? You read it, right?

She (not he, nice reading comprehension) specifically said "we take great offense to those that are levied against the president of the United States of America, from our stage." Yet you somehow read that as his "anti-muslim rhetoric"? So you think Obama is a Muslim?What did he specifically apologize for, Splits? You read it, right?

Typically the president of an organization speaks for said organization. She rebuked the cheering crowd for cheering. And cried about it."they" obviously don't represent the cheering crowd. Stupid was in tears
It showed nothing of the sort. So you predict Trump will carry Jews in the GA? Good luck with that.
What's not to like about Trump and Israel? He continually criticizes the Iran deal saying it's the worst deal ever made, his daughter, son-in-law and grandkids are Jewish and his "neutral" comments are often taken out of context.
Don't give a about gender, tbh. It's irrelevantShe (not he, nice reading comprehension) specifically said "we take great offense to those that are levied against the president of the United States of America, from our stage."

Israel has openly stated they reject anti-muslim rhetoric, Splits... you do know this right? The news was regurgitating it for a whole week.
Going back to the point at hand, which you seem to have avoided, your initial quote (which you bolded) says this at the bottom
"

The crowd's reaction was criticized, which goes back to my initial reply: why are the high ups criticizing public opinion within the jewish community? I'm sure they only let in respectable jews in that thing
Someone should ask Trump if he thinks we should bring back the Human Betterment Foundation.
Might vote for him if he did, tbh
All members of AIPAC are Zionists, which means there are no "respectable Jews" in that organization. Anti-Muslim bigotry is ingrained in their souls, it is why they exist. Their President explicitly criticized their own membership for cheering Trump's criticism of the POTUS. Obama won 78% & 69% of the Jewish vote in his two elections. Not sure why this is so difficult to understand.Don't give a about gender, tbh. It's irrelevant

Regardless of what she was criticizing, it is purely a PR move for her racist apartheid-supporting organization.

Not going to read what you say if your bias is like that, bro. Keep it in the club
If you can provide proof to me that a single AIPAC member is not a Zionist, I would love to see it. It's not "bias", it is "fact".
I don't know which I enjoy watching more: Trump winning or Cruz losing.
Trump adding to his 2 million more votes then Cruz in az
Definitely Trump winning - he's got a good shot at the 1237. Now if Trump and Kasich can stop Cruz from getting 50% +1 in Utah, it'll be an awesome night for Trump.
How Trump Dog-Whistles the Business Establishment
He cleverly woos the GOP base on issues like trade, but this working-class hero is actually a willing agent of the 1 percenters.
Don’t worry, I’m on your side, he’s telling corporate execs in coded language. Trump the dealmaker has signaled that he’ll deliver mammoth tax “forgiveness”—worth hundreds of billions—to the largest multinational corporations.
Trump delivered this message during his victory speech in Florida on Tuesday, but it was couched in evasive and deceitful terms that only insiders were likely to understand. Business and financial leaders will certainly get it, because they’re lobbying intensely for the same deal:
massive tax reductions for gold-plated names like Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and scores of other globalized American corporations.
The companies have $2.1 trillion in overseas profits parked offshore and untaxed, and they won’t bring the money home until Congress agrees to give them another “tax holiday” and permanently reduces the corporate tax rate.
Except Trump makes it sound like the multinationals are the victims—held hostage by dirty politicians. In fact, it’s the opposite. The tech companies, mega-banks, and drug makers are carrying out the corporate version of highway robbery: If Congress doesn’t give in to their demands, they threaten to pull the trigger by moving to Ireland or other low-tax hangouts.
“I’m disgusted with it; I’m tired of seeing it,” Trump told his adoring fans. “People can’t get their money back into the country because the politicians can’t get along, they can’t make a deal…. Companies are leaving our country in order to go and get money—that’s their money—because there’s no way of bringing it in.”
Trump says he would change all that instantly as president. The dealmaker would introduce a cooperative spirit of compromise. “If I sat down with a few of the senators, or a few of the congressmen, you could make a deal on that in 10 minutes,” he said.
I caught his drift was that Trump was talking about the very subject of my recent Nation blog, “Democrats and Republicans Are Quietly Planning a Corporate Giveaway—to the Tune of $400 Billion.” Senator Elizabeth Warren has already denounced this bipartisan political scheme as “a giant wet kiss for the tax dodgers.” Indeed, it is another stunning example of why Washington deal-making enrages citizens.
Most voters don’t have a clue. They certainly do not realize that this working-class hero named Trump is actually a willing agent of the 1 percenters.
he’s attempting now to assure elites that he can also play “presidential” in a convincing manner.
