This is a detail in Bob Woodward's new book "RAGE." Trump is bragging to Woodward about some new nuclear delivery system and "we have stuff you haven't seen or heard," and all sorts of other bull shit. It is quintessential Trump rambling nonsense bragging about shit he has very little understanding of.

One thing is for certain, though, if Trump is bragging to Bob Woodward about classified weapons systems, then he's also bragging to Vladimir Putin about it too.

Trump brags like Kruschev.

He had to divert resources from the Postal Service to help deliver the nukes.

Give him 2 weeks, he'll be going into explicit detail about it in a rally, and asking the crowd if they think he should tell his tough men to nuke California and then basking in a roar of cheers.

See the link in my OT, apparently US military officials were surprised Trump disclosed that kind of information.

Trump Discloses Supposed Existence Of A Secret New Nuclear Weapon System To Bob Woodward

Other sources reportedly confirmed that the weapon system does exist, but declined to get into specifics.

However, it is also known that Trump doesn't always appear to have a firm grasp of the topics in question, leading him to make false pronouncements about certain weapon systems and their capabilities. Perhaps the best-known example of this is the case of the "super-duper missile," which he referenced while speaking to reporters during an event at the White House in May 2020. He claimed this weapon was "17 times faster than what they have right now," referring to comparative Russian and Chinese developments. It ultimately turned out to be a hypersonic boost-glide vehicle that the U.S. Army and Navy are collaboratively developing that the Pentagon had previously publicly stated had an estimated peak speed of Mach 17.

When it comes to nuclear weapons, and many of their delivery systems, these are some of the most secretive systems within the U.S. military's arsenal, even if their existence is publicly known. Their exact capabilities generally remain undisclosed in order to prevent opponents from developing countermeasures that could limit the utility of America's nuclear deterrents. As such, it is possible that Trump was talking about a still-secret nuclear weapon, about which little is known, but which has been publicly acknowledged. A prime candidate may be the still-nebulous W93 warhead, which, if the program proceeds, could eventually go on top of the Navy's Trident D5 submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The U.S. military has been coy about just how new or not the design of this weapon might be.

The Navy also deployed the W76-2 warhead, a lower-yield variant of the W76 series, on some of its Tridents for the first time earlier this year. Work is also still ongoing on the nuclear-capable B-21 Raider stealth bomber, the B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb, and the new Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the U.S. Air Force, as well. In August, that service also indicated that it might be interested in a nuclear-armed hypersonic weapon as a potential warhead for the GBSD in the future, as well.

My guess is he is talking about something like GBSD or the B-21 and Trump is just being his normal dumbass self and hyping up this new super secret thing he just heard about. Of course spilling top secret stuff is also well in his ballpark so who knows might be a metal gear.

And I bet he can hardly stop himself from playing with his new toy. I wonder how many times he's had to have been told there's no cause to nuke anyone. And his response, undoubtedly, is "you're a bunch of pussies".

I haven't forgotten what you told me, Boss. We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future.

Who cares if Trump is bragging about this? The real problem is that we've got 40 million Americans with food insecurity but yet we can spend billions on more fucking nukes. This is such a shitty country.

There are probably teams of people in the DOD that are paid solely to keep this exact information as secret as possible and Donald just shits it out of his mouth.

He's almost certainly referring to an intermediate range nuclear armed cruise missiles which we already had for decades before they were scrapped in a treaty with Russia. We pulled out of that treaty after Russia almost certainly broke it. Either that or one of the experimental hypersonic missiles they're testing.

Just more dumb bravado from Trump. The danger comes from the speed at which these missiles can strike which reduces the time in which the strike can be aborted in case of a mistake but doesn't currently change the formula of mutually assured destruction.

And if there would be 3 trillion dollars lying around, the Trump admin wouldn't spend a dime on food security

I like to think somebody sat Trump down with a box of crayons and he drew a doomsday laser and then sat there with the proudest look on his face ever.

Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States telling a reporter about classified military projects on the record for no reason whatsoever.

I think it's a bigger deal here is that the US a developing a new secret nuclear capabilities rather than the fact that we got to know about it.
