Our last President won the Nobel Prize for carefully decommissioning our nukes, while our new President wants ‘everybody-nobody’ to have them. That’s essentially the main subject of Stephen Colbert’s monologue last night on The Late Show. Colbert begins by joking about the 35th day that Trump has been in office, but really calling it the 35th year because that’s essentially what it’s felt like for many of us.
But the main topic was Trump’s desire to expand the United States nuclear arsenal. Trump was quoted as saying he wants to make it “top of the pack.” Exactly what Trump meant by that is obviously up to interpretation. It’s a little odd that Obama tirelessly tried to decommission nuclear weapons and like we said actually won a Nobel Prize for his efforts. It’s just another step in the direction of reversing pretty much every single Obama policy there is.
Colbert also went into Rex Tillerson and Mexico. I’m pretty sure that the number one quote that came from Trump’s office yesterday was “We’re getting really bad dudes out of this country.” Like I’ve said before, I still don’t believe I’m living in anything but a dream. The last 35 days have been “fake news.”
