As with Trump's "Disinfectant" cure for COVID, there's a good chance during one of his briefings, DJT heard the words "Nuclear" and "Testing", but nothing else, and assumed they meant detonations, thus causing Chris Wright and Nuclear Weapons experts to spend hours and hours trying to penetrate that brain of his and set the record straight.

Here's an excerpt from the linked article...
-------------------
The nuclear testing ordered by President Trump will not involve nuclear explosions, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Sunday, adding that the testing would involve “the other parts of a nuclear weapon” to ensure they are working properly.

Mr. Wright’s comments came four days after Mr. Trump made the declaration that he was ordering the U.S. military to resume nuclear testing “on an equal basis” with other countries, raising the specter of a return to the worst days of the Cold War.

“I think the tests we’re talking about right now are systems tests,” Mr. Wright said in an interview on the Fox News show “The Sunday Briefing.” “These are not nuclear explosions. These are what we call noncritical explosions.”

Mr. Wright said Americans in places like Nevada, where the United States has a nuclear test site bigger than the state of Rhode Island, should not expect to see a mushroom cloud.

As noted earlier on this Forum, the U.S. doesn't need to conduct Nuclear Explosions in order to assess the reliability, safety or efficiency of our nuclear weapons.
