Donald Trump has said that the "only global warming that matters" is the possibility of nuclear war as he took aim at President Joe Biden.
Ranting on his social media channel, Truth Social, he shared a clip of his interview with Fox's Sean Hannity and warned of global destruction saying: "I love this Country. I don't want to see this Country get into a nuclear war and be so badly damaged. What we say won't matter. This won't matter. This place won't matter, because practically nothing is going to be here anymore...The only global warming that matters to me is nuclear global warming…"
His post echoed sentiments he said to Hannity on Fox, warning of the danger of nuclear weapons. Trump said: "We're at the most dangerous point in the history of our country because of the powers of weaponry, nuclear weapons in particular. Weapons that are so powerful, and I've seen the effects."

Donald Trump spoke with Fox's Sean Hannity about nuclear warfare (Fox News)During the interview, he reminisced about speaking with his uncle, Dr John Trump, an MIT professor Trump claimed was the "longest-serving professor in the history of MIT". He said the pair used to talk about the "power of nuclear" and he would tell his uncle "you're done".

"Where a (bomb the size of a) briefcase would do damage I don't even want to discuss," he added. "And we're a long way from that in terms of the advancement of that technology, and it's very bad, it's very scary, and I will tell you we have a chance of going into World War 3 because of our leader."
Trump continued by referring to President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia and North Korean leader Kim Jong un as "at the top of their game, mentally". But not missing a chance to attack Biden he said: "They're dealing with someone who's not at the top of his game."

"The level of power, the level of power with the weapons and weaponry, that's real weaponry, that's worse than the weaponry that we were talking about a little while ago. This is the ultimate, this is obliteration.
"Maybe world obliteration. And we have a man that is not capable of even discussing it. He talked the other night about that nuclear doesn't matter so much, what matters is, think of this, global warming. The only global warming that matters to me is nuclear global warming, because that's the real deal."
Trump speaking to Fox News' Sean Hannity (Fox News)Trump is mired in legal troubles, including charges that he stored sensitive nuclear data in a bathroom at his home. Trump stands accused of sharing a Pentagon "plan of attack" and storing top-secret nuclear weapons documents in his bathroom. Among the 37 felony counts brought against in the historic indictment was a claim that the former US President shared classified intelligence with unauthorised persons on multiple occasions and at his Trump International Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Embracing Trump’s strategy of blaming the US justice system after his historic guilty verdict over the hush money charges, Republicans in Congress are fervently enlisting themselves in his campaign of vengeance and political retribution as the GOP runs to reclaim the White House. Almost no Republican official has stood up to suggest Trump should not be the party’s presidential candidate for the November election — in fact, some have sought to hasten his nomination.
Few others dared to defend the legitimacy of the New York state court that heard the hush money case or the 12 jurors who unanimously rendered their verdict. And those Republicans who expressed doubts about Trump’s innocence or political viability, including his former hawkish national security adviser John Bolton or top-tier Senate candidate Larry Hogan of Maryland, were instantly bullied by the former president’s enforcers and told to “leave the party.”
