Trump Administration Rescinds Mass Nuclear Agency Firings After Learning It Oversees U.S. Weapons

Oops

The Trump administration abruptly fired more than 300 employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) on Thursday night, only to begin reversing the decision the next morning after reportedly learning the agency manages America’s nuclear weapons.

The mass terminations were part of broader layoffs within the Department of Energy. However, according to CNN, administration officials were seemingly unaware of the NNSA’s critical role in overseeing the safety and security of the nation’s nuclear stockpile. The oversight caused immediate confusion within the agency and sparked concerns about the government’s handling of national security matters.

It's no way to run a country, unless, of course, one wish to destroy that country because one seeks revenge on its people for all sorts of imagined reasons.

What did they think this administration does? It’s not a mystery title. I know nothing about nuclear weapons, but I can guess The National Nuclear Safety Administration is keeping tabs on nuclear weapons.

It’s impossible to run a country like a business in the first place but more importantly, he’s bankrupt or had to shut down every business venture he ever was involved with. MAGA voters loved his business sense as they were eager to tell us and that in itself is beyond any kind of sense. Its all nutz

to overwhelm everyone................Not a lot different than what he did to Biden in the Debate, leaving him speechless.

It is called: *Gish Gallop* an OLD debate technique, that Trump's handlers resurrected to use on Biden. And now they are using it on all U.S. Citizens..........

Google it, it explains a lot........It matches Trump's style to perfection, and I was surprised that Biden's debate prep team didn't educate him on it, and esp how to combat it........

It's like putting a bunch of baskets of grenades in a room with a bunch of monkeys, going off in every direction as a diversion....
