On Thursday, Unpresidented-elect Donald Trump horrified every thinking person on the planet when he casually and ignorantly tweeted that the United States needed more “nukes.” And on Friday morning, when asked to clarify, Trump said:
Let it be an arms race. We will outmatch them at every pass. And outlast them all.
Two initial reactions to Thursday’s tweet need to be reiterated here: We’re all going to die. And the contestant who came in 12th place on “Dancing With The Starts”—out of 13—will be in charge of “winning” this arms race.
Happy holidays!
