Yea I would imagine a politician who openly declared his bid for president and also is threatening (in the same month) to use nukes on the very people he is swarn to protect would undoubtedly unnerve other nations leaders. If he is willing to go that far on his own people what would he be willing to do to us with the power of the US military? Granted the military would revolt if this order was given but still...
I'm not even sure disturbing is the right word. If he had said he'd have them shot, that would be disturbing. To nuke them is ludicrous in so many ways I'm not sure how it even crosses a persons mind
I think he intended to give an iteration of the leftist talking point that our little guns would not be able to match the might of the military, as if the military would go after civilians for him, but he botched the point by so grossly exaggerating it by implicating the use of nukes to counter a resistance armed with AR-15's. Still, it is a window into their thought process regarding those who disagree with them.

...still the fact that he even thought of such a thing is disturbing. We cannot let these people gain full power ever again.
