Axios: Trump Told NatSec Officials He Wanted to Drop Nuclear Bombs on Hurricanes

Not much to see here, just the president of the US telling his national security officials that the US should drop nuclear bombs on hurricanes to stop them from hitting the US.

You know, just some more of that perfectly normal presidential brain-storming stuff.

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. 
• The briefer “was knocked back on his heels,” the source in the room added. “You could hear a gnat fart in that meeting. People were astonished. After the meeting ended, we thought, ‘What the f—? What do we do with this?’”
