President Donald Trump uncorked another startling social media post on Wednesday night, alerting the globe that he has ordered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's department to ramp up testing of nuclear weapons.

Trump took to his Truth Social platform to note that the United States has more nuclear weapons than any other country, but warned that its adversaries are catching up.

"This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office," he wrote. "Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years."
