Trump seems to think the US military didn't have ammunition before he arrived

Donald Trump has suggested that before he took office as president of the United States the country's military didn't have ammunition.

In a speech at the White House on Friday, stood next to Australian prime minister Scott Morrison, Trump said

I've rebuilt the military...we spent £1.5 trillion dollars, when I came in our military was depleted, frankly we didn't have ammunition OK?

Another day, another fake news soundbite from Trump.
