Mainecat Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Trump suggested nuking hurricanes to stop them from hitting U.S. Source: Axios President Trump has suggested multiple times to senior Homeland Security and national security officials that they explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from hitting the United States, according to sources who have heard the president's private remarks and been briefed on a National Security Council memorandum that recorded those comments. Behind the scenes: During one hurricane briefing at the White House, Trump said, "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?" according to one source who was there. "They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?" the source added, paraphrasing the president's remarks. Asked how the briefer reacted, the source recalled he said something to the effect of, "Sir, we'll look into that." Trump replied by asking incredulously how many hurricanes the U.S. could handle and reiterating his suggestion that the government intervene before they make landfall.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted August 26, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted August 26, 2019 Could this be true? Maybe, maybe not. In the end this is more unverifiable heresay from a media with very long history of lying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t matter whether it was true or not, the Jt’s would go off the deep end. With Trump there is no need to make up anything. He goes stupid all day long.

You realize you just admitted this is as likely false as it is true and in the process compared your gullibility to JT's, right?

Not if you could read for content. The point is that in order for the right wing conspiracy sites to say something similar about Obama, they would have to make it all up. That is not the case with Trump. He says stupid things so frequently, there is no time to make stuff up. Trump keeps saying the msm is failing but I bet the place he’s hurt the most is the onion.

After the nuke, it would simply move the radiation along with it unfazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
