Donald Trump wants to ‘stop hurricanes by nuking them’ – 9 favourite responses
Favourite news story of the day has to be this report of Donald Trump’s cunning plan to stop hurricanes hitting the US.
By attacking them with nuclear missiles, according to this news report.
Here’s the meat of it.
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
There’s been no shortage of responses as you might imagine, of which these are our 9 favourites.

Trump is stone cold sober but all his ideas sound like something you come up with when you’re super high:
– we should just nuke the hurricanes
– how much would it cost to buy Greenland
– hear me out: SPACE FORCE

Everyone's laughing at Trump because he suggested nuking hurricanes but, to be fair, he meant as a last resort. Obviously, he would send in conventional forces first.

Again, if we didn’t elect Trump to annex things like Greenland, or nuke hurricanes, then what are we even doing this for?

Here’s what the so-called president had to say about it later.
The story by Axios that President Trump wanted to blow up large hurricanes with nuclear weapons prior to reaching shore is ridiculous. I never said this. Just more FAKE NEWS!

So it must be true.
