Trump now has taken to tweeting about his plans for US nuclear capability seemingly in direct response to Putin's call to expand Russia's nuclear program. Putin wants more nukes; hours later Trump weighs in saying he wants more too. I've been giving the guy a pass so far and overlooking the tweet storms but this last outbreak is just too much.

Absolute false. There was no mention of the Russians by Trump. That is Fake News generated by the BBC.

The BBC has become as deranged about Trump as the NYTimes, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, etc.

Remember they were against BRexit too.

Note the question mark (mine). By definition, wondering is never false. And lots of news outlets are (wondering, not false).

Wondering by MSM = Nonsense they make up to make people think it's fact so they control the message.

There are a lot of people in the UK who are fed up with the license fee and want the BBC defunded because of nonsense such as this.

Another impressionable liberal in need of a blankie, a binky, and lots of hot chocolate.

What part of seemingly is it that causes such confusion for you?

.
You know, he doesn't need to mention the Russians/Putin & his new stand on nukes in the tweet for people to be able to connect the dots. How do you know the OP even read/listened to the BBC? The Trainwreck-Elect never mentioned beefing up the stockpile (he was for cutting/balancing the budget, remember?) during his campaign, nor immediately after. Now, suddenly, he's into nukes? Oh, and what a coincidence--look! So is Russia's leader, per his own tweet earlier the same day! Well, doesn't that just beat all! That is some coincidence! A real knee-slapper.
