Why it matters: Trump can't take credit for modernizing nukes

The facts

Trump did do something: The president issued a memorandum in January ordering a review of America's nuclear arsenal to ensure it is "modern, robust, flexible, resilient, ready, and appropriately tailored to deter 21st-century threats and reassure our allies." That's a Nuclear Posture Review that will set the administration's nuclear policy, per WaPo, after which modernization efforts would take years.

But any modernization is thanks to Obama, for now: But making the nuclear arsenal strong again started before he took office, for instance Obama's administration pushed for modernization starting in 2010, per Fox News. which led to developing a purchasing plan. Obama's Defense Secretary announced at the end of the administration that the Pentagon would be spending $108 billion over the next 5 years to work on it. The Department of Energy and Congress under Obama can also largely be credited with modernization effort, per CBS News.
