If you've been puzzling over who to blame for North Korea's most recent nuclear test, Donald Trump's campaign has the answer: Hillary Clinton. On Friday, Trump's senior communications adviser Jason Miller released a statement calling North Korea's fifth nuclear weapons test Friday the fault of Clinton's "catastrophic failures as secretary of state." "Clinton promised to work to end North Korea's nuclear program as secretary of state, yet the program has only grown in strength and sophistication," the statement read, pointing out (accurately) that four of North Korea's five nuclear tests have occurred since Clinton became secretary of state.

While the statement doesn't offer up any ideas for how Clinton may have single-handedly stopped North Korea, Talking Points Memo pointed out that Miller also failed to consider that North Korea has been working on its nuclear program since the 1950s. Moreover, the country's first nuclear test happened in 2006, when Republican President George W. Bush was in office. The last two happened this year, three years after Clinton left the State Department.
