A question often asked about presidential candidates is how they might react to that 3 a.m. phone call. We are fortunate indeed that Mr. Trump is so clearly demonstrating, conveniently before the election, exactly how his predawn judgment would be: awful! Now consider that the missives could be missiles. This candidate is a catastrophe waiting to happen. VICKI RIBA KOESTLER Alexandria, Va.
