Fake @ NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a "tenfold" increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC = CNN!
Trump Called For Ten Fold Increase In US Nukes at National Security Meeting
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-asked-build-up-nuclear-arsenal
During a July meeting with top national security advisers, President Donald Trump said that he wanted to significantly build up the United States’ nuclear arsenal, NBC News reported Wednesday morning, citing three unnamed officials in the room.
Trump said that he wanted a nearly tenfold increase in the country’s nuclear capabilities after seeing a presentation that showed how the U.S. has steadily worked to shrink the nuclear arsenal, according to NBC News. The officials in the room told Trump that it would be very challenging to build up the nuclear arsenal and explained that the U.S. is in a stronger military position than it was when the nuclear stockpile was larger, according to NBC News.
Officials told NBC News that there are no plans to build up the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
Some officials in the room told NBC News that they did not interpret Trump’s wish for more nuclear weapons as an order to build up the arsenal and said that the President also said during the meeting that he wanted a general military build-up with more troops and other equipment.
It was after this meeting on July 20 that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was overheard calling Trump a “moron,” per NBC News. However, it’s not what what exactly prompted Tillerson to label Trump a moron, according to NBC News.
Trump on Wednesday morning denied that he asked for a tenfold increase in the nuclear arsenal and suggested that NBC’s broadcasting license be revoked.
With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!

Trump has never heard of our decades long nuclear weapons negotiations and agreements with the Russians.
He hasn't heard of much history, he doesn't believe in history, it isn't on TV, except on the History Channel and, he doesn't watch that.
I wish NT was more like the Trump administration, where you can get away with calling a moron a moron.
He reacts just like you would expect someone who gets all his news from Fox News and other tv shows would. Such a person does not belong in the US presidency.
On NT, if you say that you get accused of being "picky".
We are living in a bizarro world.
Later today Sarah Huckabee Sanders will probably claim that the President was just joking about the tenfold thing.
When is this madness with the unnamed sources going to end? People will believe that Trump asked for a 10-fold increase in our already huge nuclear stockpile, but they won't believe that a journalist or a source will just make up gossipy baloney for ratings and clicks?
Do you really believe that, not one, but three national security advisors leaked the content of a national security meeting; and that the thing they leaked - out of all possible leaks - was this absurd statement? And you further believe that this all happened back in July and didn't make it to publication until three months later.
Seriously? You really believe all that? In a world where even the smallest real comment is being discussed by CNN's panel the day it happened, you believe all this nonsense actually went down the way they claim?
I have a very nice bridge going on the market . . .

Anything coming from NBC after this Harvey Wienstien thing is very suspect.
Wow, just wow, and to think we could have had a former SoS who is married to a former successful, popular President. How could we possibly be this stupid?
