Trump Drops Nuke Testing Bomb Before China MeetupâCasually
In a plot twist fit for a K-drama without the romance, President Trump announced on Wednesday nightâjust one hour before his chit-chat with Chinese President Xi Jinpingâthat the US will resume nuclear weapons testing for the first time since 1992. His Truth Social manifesto bragged about having 'more nuclear weapons than any other country,' a generous flex after a 'complete update and renovation' done during his First Term, despite 'hating to do it.' Apparently, because Russia is #2 and China lurking at #3 (but threatening to pass soon), Trump ordered his Department of War (not Defense, because subtlety) to start popping bombs 'on an equal basis'âimmediately. The arms race just got a fresh shot of Red Bull, and weâre all on edge waiting for the next episode.

When your nuclear test announcement is timed perfectly to create awkward dinner convos with Xi Jinping, you know diplomacy just swiped left on maturity.
Launching nuke tests an hour before meeting the other superpower sounds like that guy texting 'u up?' after a breakup and wondering why there's radio silence.
Russia's #2? Chinaâs supposed to catch up in 5 years? Sounds like a schoolyard race where Trumpâs already trading medals for participation trophies.
