“You know what uranium is, right? It’s this thing called nuclear weapons, and other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things.”
—Donald Trump, at February 16, 2017, press conference.

Louisiana Voice 
What is truly frightening is that he has his “fingers on the button” and that he does not need approval from anyone else, including Congress or the military, to authorize a strike. There are over 1,000 nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal. Or should I say “uranium” weapons.
He plagiarized this from a 3rd grader’s report on “uranium” and messed it up.
What you SHOULD be frightened about is the fact that Clinton/Obama allowed a sale of Uranium One to “Bad Boy Putin’s Russia” who will most certainly utilize material for weapons or possibly sell it to Iran.
Trump, unlike Clinton, is anti-war. As for the “finger on the button”, I wish there were No Button in the first place. Nuclear war would signal the end of humanity.
No Edith, Uncle Joe is the plagiarizer. Trump just talks before he thinks.
“Trump just talks before he thinks.
And, this is okay?
The Uranium sale you are quoting was for ownership that would not leave the US. As I recall it was a sale of a company to a Russan enity that had a tiny owneship of some in the US. NONE was going to Russa. However that is not what this administration has said misleading the regular citizen. Sorry with this type of republican administration they will attempt to mislead the average person, thus one must doubt and investigate their promouncements before relying on them or one risks looking foolish. As a member of the Baton Rouge Press Club I get to hear many polliticans entire pronouncements and then investigate many (Local, state and national) with the time invested almost as a hobby….sorry you were misled.
