Donald Trump Is Threating to Test Nuclear Weapons And No One Knows Why

Because he raped kids

May be related to the release of some compromising files for Trump, I think I've heard someone called them Epsom or Upstin files idk

Its because he has dementia and he thinks we're still in the cold war and he's loyal to Russia for all the loans they gave him.

Russia is desperate so started making noise about testing some missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. They like making noise about nukes in general because their conventional forces are failing at taking over Ukraine. Promoting fear of nuclear war is a card they play often, it's easier to list the months Russia hasn't made nuke threats in the last three years than the months they haven't.

Trump is an idiot and didn't understand the distinction between testing nuclear capable missiles and testing actual nuclear weapons. He doesn't understand the Putin is weak now and the noise he's making is a sign of that weakness and instead thinks it's a sign of strength. Trump likes to copy Putin and is too stupid not to understand the distinction between a missile test and a nuclear weapons test, so started talking about doing nuclear weapons tests.

His administration is full of idiots that are only there because they are loyal to him and so they didn't explain it to him. When a reporter explained the distinction between nuclear capable missile and actual nuclear weapons, since Trump is incapable of admitting he's wrong about anything he insisted that Russia and China are testing nuclear weapons. But he's the only one in the world that knows about it apparently.

Now it's a weird situation where Trump's sycophants probably know it's stupid to do, but they aren't going to question dear leader's orders. But that doesn't mean it will happen since they may be too incompetent to be able to do such a test. I'm not sure if they know it's actually the Department of Energy that does nuclear testing not the Department of Defense War that do them. The facilities to do them have been repurposed so there would need to be some work done to make it possible even if they figure out which department does them.

There's a significant likelihood that Trump gets distracted be something else before the administration can figure out how to do it. But if it continues to be a controversy then he'll stick with it, since distracting from the Epstein files and various other corruption is the top priority.

It's because removing the filibuster is called the nuclear option.

Yup, global super power in 2025 folks.

I feel like you could follow every headline about trump with “and no one knows why”

It’s practically implied at this point

It’s because he’s a child who was given access to firecrackers.

All my savings to low background steel

Because he thinks it's a dick measuring contest. This ain't hard.

It's because he desperately wants to use one. It's why he wanted to nuke the hurricane. He thinks it's cool, and wants to be the second president to actually use a nuclear weapon.

“…Prize unpredictability.”

What an incredible whitewashing of “He has no fucking clue what he’s doing.”

It’s quite simple - he just wants to pop off a few nukes because he thinks it’s cool. In dementia don’s brain, what’s the point of being president if you can’t pop off a few nukes for shits and giggles?

My non-nuanced opinion is that it's because his brain is tapioca pudding.

It's because he needs to feel powerful and big booms make small men feel strong

Conservatives entire personality is based around trying to appear tough. This is just a senile old man trying to impress his fanbase of spoiled buffoons.

yes we know, epstein files distraction.

fuck me sideways i'm no one then i guess?

Is the United States about to start testing nuclear weapons again?

no

Recent comments by United States President Trump suggested that he is strongly considering testing nuclear warheads in response to real and perceived tests by other nuclear powers.

tl note: demented pedo in chief conflates nuclear delivery systems tests and nuclear warhead tests. this one in particular is about alleged tests of russian burevestnik nuclear powered subsonic nuclear armed cruise missile, seen by nobody, detected by nobody, other than announcements of russians only

it's a massively complex and expensive contraption, sold as russian wunderwaffe to unsuspecting public. with every new development like this, you have to wonder: did nobody did that before because it's really hard, or because it's really, really stupid?

it's definitely both, which also makes it entirely unnecessary. it's sold as a something to deliver nukes while avoiding american antiballistic missiles, and technically it's true, but pointless, because as subsonic missile it would be intercepted by regular air defense surface launched missile, which is much cheaper and widely distributed, as compared to antiballistic missile, which are horrifically expensive and won't work anyway. want to put nuke on enemy territory? we have a tool for that, it's called ICBM

but did nobody did that? also no. americans did that in 60s and discarded that idea, because ICBMs turned out to work better at lower price

but can trump do a nuclear test? also no, because while there are some designs from much later than nuclear tests moratorium, preparation would take something like three years.

as usual, in uncertain times you can count on nothing ever happens brigade

this news is also 2 weeks old at this point. perun has already covered it in an hour long video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0t8UYZ9rrQ

We ALL know why. Putin just tested a new nuclear capable missle. This is his flex back. It's just ancient men wanting to look tough to one another

My guess: the test grounds are New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland. Maybe with a bit of Ontario and Mexico City as a treat?

...as ever with this regime, I am not sure if I am joking. A lot of precedents and norms are dead, and the beating of the live horse will continue until it has been reduced into glue.

Because it is what the dictators he admires have been doing.

I read an article a while ago that said that nuclear weapons tests (yes, only the tests) caused 10 million people worldwide to die from cancer. This is solely due to the radioactive fallout from the tests. This does not include any weapons actually hitting cities or living people directly.

You actually have an insane person leading your country. What are you doing.

Because Russia and China were behind the US in Nuclear explosive research, so they want us to start testing so they can start testing and get caught up.

Given the disaster that President Pedophile's administration is for science in the US, they should pass us fairly quickly.

It's the same reason Bezos and Musk had a dick measuring competition on Twitter by posting pictures of their phallus shaped rockets. Trump is a deeply flawed human, and this announcement is just more of the same.

This is unrelated but, that picture in the thumbnail, it has me giggling and I can't stop. Where do you get your nukes from? Mattel? It's fitting that Trump is playing with My First Fat Man, since that's what he gave to underage girls on Epstein's Island.

He's planning to go to war, duh. As soon as they're done consolidating power within the US, he's going to start invading other countries. It's so blatantly obvious

Probably wants to use them on blue cities that he cannot turn or control

Holy Epstein list, FatMan!

Whatever it takes to distract from the Epstein files sir! 🫡

We accidentally tested a nuclear weapon on Venezuela. Oops.

Oh, it's quite clear. He needs something to distract from his numerous shortcomings and failures.

"threating" is not a word

Oh fuck this is not good

At this point it might be good if ww3 happens and america is completely obliterated.

Classic Small Dick Energy

What a useless headline. „No one knows why“? Doesn’t it say right there „in response to […] tests by other[s]“?

Dementia.

"Is it a thing scary countries do?"

Remember the live fire military exercise over CA's Interstate 5, that would've probably killed people if Newsom hadn't shut it down?

These "tests" will go the same way.

Strongman bullshit of course? The reason we stopped testing these things in the first place is because the US and USSR both realised at pretty much the same time after the first couple of hydrogen bomb tests that you can basically nest stages indefinetaly for exponentially higher yields. The escalating tests had to stop for the sake of not fucking everything by setting off devices in the hundreds of megaton to gigaton range. (Also larger devices get less efficient surface coverage than just using multiple smaller bombs.)

Nobody knows why Donald Trump does things, least of all Donald Trump himself.
