Trump is prepared to start a nuclear arms race
The president-elect is reversing 40 years of nuclear disarmament via Twitter.
Yup… the president-elect did this via fucking Twitter. WT-living-F?
Yesterday he tweeted, "the United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes."
When questioned about it on Morning Joe Trump said, "let it be an arms race. We will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all."
Ok Republicans… please explain this reversal? Wasn't it Reagan (hallowed be thy name), the guy many seem to worship, that made it his mission to have a "world free of nuclear weapons"?
Unsurprisingly, in 2014 Trump Tweeted, "The global warming we should be worried about is the global warming caused by NUCLEAR WEAPONS in the hands of crazy or incompetent leaders!" – Um… that's you asshole. facepalm
Paul Spoerry says
heh… and Nate Silver of +FiveThirtyEight tweeted:
"Here's what the electoral map would look like if only people who weren't burnt to a crisp in the nuclear holocaust voted."

I guess he's measuring that in milliseconds.

Brian Barth says
What happened to not telling your enemies your strategies? Isn't that what he said when pressed on ISIS during the campaign?
Paul Spoerry says
+Brian Barth didn't he also already walk back on a lot of his campaign promises already too?
Let's face it… the dude is nothing but a megalomaniac who'd say anything. WTF is up with his victory tour shit too? Who is he Hit… ok I promised I'd stop saying that because it always annoying me… then again… threatening to "open up" libel laws to sue people who speak against him, having his own private security (in front of the secret service), targeting specific minority groups to get the masses worked up about a common enemy… it's.just.so.hard.
