President Donald Trump said Thursday that he wants to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and China and that eventually he hopes all three countries could agree to cut their massive defense budgets in half.

    It’s because they fired all the people in control of the US nukes and can’t figure out how to contact them.

    Why? Is he suddenly running scared and realizing just how badly he has crippled the US military and national security, not to mention any hope of counting on our allies to back us up when the threats start coming?

    Then again, Trump is gullible enough to actually believe other countries were disarming and would shut down our entire program without a hint of assurances. And then he’d have to tell his MAGAts to be shocked when a few of our cities got nuked because how could anyone have predicted this could happen.

    I feel like there’s a lot more context to this than is being reported

      Yes, he’ll chop the US stockpile and let Putin carry on as usual. Because Putin suggested it to him as a way of saving money.

      Trump will spout it as one of his bigly clever plans, because he has common sense and is such a brilliant business man. Lot of people tell him. Very clever people.
