We already have plenty of world ruining weapons. Trump just wants some coated I'm gold. A big beautiful yellow mushroom.
The world's biggest practical joke will be a giant golden shower that destroys all life on Earth
Donald Trump really really wants to set off a nuke. He's obsessed with it. It doesn't matter what target. It will make him feel like a man. His ego is out of control.
He's a demented narcissist. He's literally sick.
Don't worry this increase is offset by the money Elon Musk saved us by firing nuclear defense personnel for a week before frantically rehiring them
Probably at a huge loss too, if I'm fired and I'm the only one who can do my job well sorry but now I want double and flexible hours.
You just KNOW this fat bitch is thinking of launching one while he still can.
Probably at a hurricane.
I'd be fine with that if it's all he did
thats why he also wants his "golden dome" thing.
he absolutly wants to make use of nukes
Well given that DEI programs were the very thing that NASA and the Department of Defense were using to support small manufacturers with the skills needed to make such arms.
He literally cut his own balls off and is effectively hoping that some viagra will fix the situation…
What a moron.
I was about to say, manufacturing nuclear arms is not cheap, but it's also not incredibly profitable. Unlike even something like a fighter aircraft, you can't really sell them off, and you can't make most of ANYTHING ELSE with the tooling and setup.
Its so funny that they have hid so much military work in other agencies due to the popularity in the 20th century with science and unpopularity of the military and he goes and cuts the science budget and finds he has to increase the military one. I remember dreaming about how great the 21st century would be. Entering into a new millenia. sigh.
Why bother improving our knowledge of the universe when we can already make even more nukes? FFS...
