I wish this was an inflated title but no, he really said this.
America, you need to get rid of this asshole ASAP.

Thanks @notarobot@lemmy.zip
Are they trying to figure out what the expiration date is on nuclear warheads? The fuq are they still needing to test for?
Let's just blow up our arsenal for the heck of it boyz, it will make for a good twitter post!
“Was department”
ROFL! He’s like a little child in a cardboard fort, pretending the furniture is a threat.
Someone needs to put him in a home where he can pretend to be whatever he wants.
That guy is an absolute fud! He sees some other moron do it, and thinks he has to do it too so he looks "alpha"... Talk about your beta bitches, jesus christ.
Why does he capitalize random words?
He’s old and his last bout of formative education predates most of our parents’ lives.
Why? They work... We checked.
Orange Don wants to make sure he can launch them the next time someone calls him names, without anyone being able to stop him
don't indulge his bullshit attempt to rename the DOD
We have the technology, the time is now to blow up the moon, children are our future.
Unfortunately, we do not in fact have the technology necessary to blow up the Moon.
i cannot stop laughing at this i dont know why
Dumbass probably watched a movie and was like duuuuh that looks cool lolz...
He's going to look at one directly, just like he did with the eclipse.
Choose one...global warming or nuclear winter. I think that is our futures only options.
There's always the mass-extinction asteroid option to look forward to.
This is horrifying. Like, mind-bogglingly bad.
It's also a blatant lie. Other countries are not testing nuclear weapons, they're running simulations. We didn't do that in the 60s because it wasn't possible, but the US (and presumably China/Russia) literally have giant supercomputers for this purpose now.
...And we would know if they were doing real testing because it would show up on seismographs.
But who cares about truth? Or sanity? No, all my relatives (even scientifically minded ones) won't even bat an eye, lest some Democrat steal their retirement, ugh.
Trumplethinskin is too stupid to understand any of that . He desperately wants to to be the one to trigger a spectacular overreaction and turn another country into glass.

Even if it wasn't for the other million reasons, this guy's grammar alone should disqualify him from having the nuclear codes.
Secured safely in the bathroom of his golf course.
A giant waste of money. 800 nukes is plenty for pretty much anything and launching 100 would probably mean the end of life as we know it on planet earth. If you wanted to blow a bunch of money on the military there are better ways to do it.

It would alter the course of human history for sure, but it wouldn't actually end human civilization. Just being annoyingly pedantic after growing up in the cold war and learning about such cheerful topics as fallout patterns and blast wave radius and how to fashion air purifiers from an early age.

Ohh we got you fam.
True, but don't tell them that, it's better if they waste money on useless nuclears than genocide technology.
Are any other countries actually actively testing nuclear weapons?
(I don't think North Korea counts/is.)
Not really. We know they work.
It's very expensive too. It takes a LOT of time and resources to make spicy rocks even more spicy. It's a huge waste of money to test a system we perfected decades ago when you can simulate detonations for almost nothing.
Just shows he is desperately trying to create many more distractions from the Epstein files to see what works.
Testing for what exactly? Do we not know enough about them already?
Primative chest pounding. He has to prove his chest makes a bigger sound. Or his nuke is bigger than their dick.
Gotta keep them hurricanes scared.
The real crazy people who would cause a nuclear wae are israel and the usa leaders not Iran
One can never be sure what President Brain Worms is talking about but I'm pretty sure Obama started a ten year plan to modernize our nuclear forces early in his presidency.
ffs we're still in 2025 man.
As if nuking Russia would help. They have the Dead-Hand system. No one wins here.
Ah, the "I had no choice!" argument for scaling up world tension. Yeah, we've never heard that one before. Hitler also "had no choice" but to invade Sudetenland, Austria and Poland.
The "we had no choice" argument is always used to take the victim role as an excuse to justify anything you like. Whether it is joining wars because they sank your illegal weapons shipment hidden in an ocean liner, invading a country because you made it look like they sank your ship, invade a country because a few terrorists attacked your country, invade a country because you claim there might be weapons of mass destruction, send troops and chemical weapons to a dictatorial regime because the freedom fighters threaten your overseas naval base, invade a country for denazification, commit ethnic cleansing, genocide and other horrible war crimes because some terrorist extremists attacked your country after years and years of oppression and apartheid, etc etc etc. There are so many examples in history where this tactic has been used. The entire cold war thrived on this bullshit argument "look at them, I have no choice".
"I'm going to do something bad, so I find a way to justify it."
He's been itching to nuke something since his first term. Hurricanes, he suggested at one point. And Americans voted him into office twice. Fucking morons.
Some Americans voted for him 3 times!
Seriously, imagine how fucking dumb you would have to be to fill out three separate ballots over nearly a decade voting for a failed reality TV star.
Now imagine those who want to not have to vote anymore and let him run forever
