Thread created on: 2019-08-15 06:50:00 Trump STUNS Internet Through His Massive Stupidity In a recent video titled "Trump STUNS Internet Through His Massive Stupidity," political commentator Jeff Waldorf dives into a controversial tweet made by former President Donald Trump regarding a Russian nuclear cruise missile test. The tweet, which critics believe reveals possible national security secrets, has sparked significant discussion online. Waldorf points out that Trump, commenting on a tragic event where seven individuals lost their lives during the missile test, decided instead to boast about America's missile capabilities, stating, "The United States is learning much from the failed missile explosion in Russia. We have similar, though more advanced technology." This comment has been seen as not only insensitive but also potentially dangerous, as it could be perceived as revealing classified information.
Key Takeaways:
- National Security Concerns: Waldorf emphasizes the potential repercussions of a President tweeting about sensitive military technologies. Critics of Trump argue that his behavior reflects a disregard for protocol and safety, raising alarms about the risks of a nuclear arms race.
- Public Reaction: Social media users have reacted with a mix of disbelief and criticism, questioning whether Trump is deliberately leaking information or simply unaware of the seriousness of the topics he discusses on Twitter. Several tweets quoted in the video raise valid concerns about the implications of his statements.
- Expert Opinions: Waldorf references insights from experts in international relations who caution against the implications of announcing U.S. nuclear capabilities, noting that such discussions were traditionally kept within secure government circles. As the discussion unfolds, Waldorf also expresses concern over the state of media and political discourse, urging viewers to support independent journalism through platforms like Patreon, highlighting the challenges faced due to algorithm changes on large platforms like YouTube.
