Trump lying this morning to claim he's already renovated and modernized our nuclear arsenal.




My first order as President was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before....






...Hopefully we will never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!



This was actually started under Obama, and it's a long-term program:

Matt McDermott:




This is a lie: funding to renovate and modernize nuclear arsenal was secured by Obama Administration. Can't renovate system in 8 months.



Karen Tumulty:




Actually, it was Obama who launched $1-trillion modernization of the nuclear arsenal. A 30-year program.

Feb 24, 2017 ... US President Donald Trump has voiced concern the United States has "fallen behind" in its nuclear weapons capacity.

Mar 2016 ... “We have nuclear arsenals which are in very terrible shape.”

What's President Trump done in that time? Nothing.
