    Relevant full tweet if anyone’s interested:

    The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better - As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be fought “forever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!). At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries. Sleepy Joe Biden spent all of his time, and our Country’s money, GIVING everything to P.T. Barnum (Zelenskyy!) of Ukraine - Hundreds of Billions of Dollars worth - And, while he gave so much of the super high end away (FREE!), he didn’t bother to replace it. Fortunately, I rebuilt the military in my first term, and continue to do so. The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

      This idiot doesn’t realize (or doesn’t care to mention) that this equipment has to be replaced somewhat regularly. If it isn’t used, it’s wasted. Sending it to Ukraine to weaken a potential rival is the best thing it could do (assuming you view Russia as a rival).

      I was gonna say, “if there’s no supply problem then why did you stop sending arms to Ukraine” but he already answered that by saying he views Ukrainian defense as less important than the US’s war of aggression…

      Fortunately, I rebuilt the military in my first term

      …before Biden was even president and sent arms to Ukraine in the first place? …

      So we have enough to last forever but not enough to also give some away. Got it.
