The president is said to have raised the idea of bombing hurricanes with senior Homeland Security and national security officials on numerous occasions, dating back as far as 2017.



“I got it. I got it. Why don’t we nuke them?” one source told US news website Axios the president had asked during a hurricane briefing at the White House.

Later, other officials were also reportedly briefed on the president’s remarks, which had been recorded in a National Security Council (NSC) memorandum.

and of course

BIARRITZ, France – President Donald Trump on Monday described as "ridiculous" a report that he discussed using nuclear weapons to alter the course of hurricanes.

The worst part is this.

Quoting unnamed sources who were present at the meeting, Axios report that the response from one official was “We’ll look into this.”

It's well established he's batshit crazy. The lack of people around him willing to tell him he's batshit crazy is what should really scare people

There is this...

The source said the briefer was “knocked back on his heels” as Mr Trump went on to suggest dropping a nuclear bomb in the eye of an off-shore hurricane would disrupt its formation.

“People were astonished,” the source added. “After the meeting ended, we thought, ‘What the f***? What do we do with this?’”

The briefer is said to have told the president they would “look into” the possibility.
