Summary
President Donald Trump accused former President Joe Biden of failing to replenish U.S. weapons stockpiles. Trump claimed that the U.S. has a “virtually unlimited supply” of medium and upper medium grade munitions, but noted that the supply of the highest grade munitions is “not where we want to be.” Trump also stated that the U.S. has stored additional high-grade weaponry in outlying countries. He criticized Biden for spending billions of dollars on aid to Ukraine instead of replacing the high-end munitions given away. Trump claimed that he has rebuilt the military and that the U.S. is “stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!!”
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Trump’s post on Truth Social platform criticized Biden’s handling of U.S. munitions supplies. Trump claimed that the U.S. has a strong supply of medium and upper medium grade munitions. He also stated that the U.S. has stored additional high-grade weaponry in outlying countries. Trump’s criticism of Biden’s aid to Ukraine was a familiar refrain. The president’s confident tone and use of capital letters (“WIN, BIG!!!”) added to the sense of performance.
The observation that Trump’s criticism of Biden’s aid to Ukraine was a familiar refrain feels obvious in hindsight.
