Donald Trump claimed former US presidents let North Korea develop nuclear warheads, but while exchanging love letters with Kim Jong-un, under his leadership North Korea increased its nuclear stockpiles twofold in his first term.
One of Demented Donald's favorite slogans is, 'under his watch he would never let it happen,' no matter the situation.
So, for instance, Trump routinely says the Russia-Ukraine war should have never happened, and under his presidency he would have stopped it?
How? Nobody knows.
Here, if he had been President for the last thirty years, he would have never allowed North Korea to develop any nuclear materials.
During yesterday's gaggle, a reporter asked if he's still writing letters to Kim Jong-un. Trump refused to say he had, but then blew kisses to the North Korean leader.
"The fact that I get along with him, that's a good thing, not a bad thing," Trump said.
Trump then launched into his customary revisionist history.
"He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons," Trump stated. "Should have never allowed it to happen. They should have never allowed it."
He continued, "If I were President, I wouldn't have allowed it. But he's got them."
Not one person cares how well he gets on with Kim Jong-un.
If we take Trump's claims as fact. Yeah, I know, that's crazy, but bear with me.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute tracks the global share of nuclear weapons, and in 2017, they estimated North Korea had between 10 and 20.
By the time President Biden took office, North Korea's stockpile potential grew to between 40 and 50.
The press should be asking why Trump let his pen pal continue to produce fissile material.
