80. My guess YES. This is exactly why they kept him out of the room.

There was a very dicy dangerous situation for some US Air Force pilots.
Top brass needed their wits about them to make good decisions.

Then they have a mentally ill POTUS screaming about dropping nukes when they are
trying to save two pilots. I also think Trump got physical, it was more than just a temper
tantrum.

THEY HAD HIM REMOVED FROM THE ROOM.

Please note that this had to be done in coordination with the secret service.
