Donald is ramping up production of more nuclear warheads, while at the same time slashing the size and the authority of the agency tasked with making sure nuclear warhead production is safe.
Because of course he is.

"As you know, Dave", said the President, "nuclear weapons manufacture is a ripe harvest for savings on safety compliance."
Dave nodded with enforced calm and surreptitiously stroked the boarding pass in his pocket which guaranteed his family places on the Tau Ceti mission.
+Travis Bird Only if the mission hardware wasn't built on Trump's watch …
So a Russian first strike will be downplayed as an unfortunate munitions accident, I guess?
Ahhh, the Reagan approach to potential problems, get rid of the people that could stop the problems and cause the wealthy to be less wealthy.
Trump continues to be the end stage of both Capitalism and Reaganism.
+Stan Pedzick With these particular shenanigans, he could be the end stage of a lot of things.
+Dave Hill only if he decides to use the weapons, otherwise the outcome would be a fire like the Flats had twice (back when production was all that mattered and safety wasn’t even a consideration), or a criticality (which would only kill those in the immediate area). While the criticality would be really bad for a handful of folks, a fire and release of radioactive materials would be bad for a lot more folks in Texas, Ohio, and northern New Mexico.
+Dave Hill also, if the unions were really concerned about this, they could do like they did at the Flats, go on a work stoppage and file grievances on every little thing they see and bring the whole thing to a dead stop.
Though, I suspect the unions concern is purely monitory, and they back Trump 1000%.
