7. He is an idiot

If he bothered to ever get his intelligence briefings or maybe, read the news, he would know that the US is looking to modernize its nuclear arsenal to the tune of a trillion dollars. A quick Google search resulted in many more than the following articles:

He thinks that making stupid statements like this will somehow create something for him, some kind of positive benefit, but all it does is destabilize the situation, make our allies nervous, make our rivals laugh (because they already know our plans), and make the stock markets skittish.

Again, I say, HE IS AN IDIOT.
