Truth Social published that the US President has ordered the US military leadership to begin nuclear testing.

"The United States has more nuclear weapons than any other country. We achieved this through a complete modernization and renewal of our existing arsenal during my first term as president. Due to their enormous destructive power, I VERY HATED doing it, but I had no choice!" Donald Trump wrote.
