Trump suggested nuking hurricanes to stop them from hitting U.S.

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.

Nuking Hurricanes: The Surprising History of a Really Bad Idea (National Geographic)

Quote

To be fair, though, there was a time when scientists and government agencies were themselves seriously considering the nuclear option. In a speech delivered at the National Press Club on October 11, 1961, Francis W. Riechelderfer, the head of the U.S. Weather Bureau, said he could “imagine the possibility someday of exploding a nuclear bomb on a hurricane far at sea.” (Although, comfortingly, Riechelderfer added that the Weather Bureau would not begin acquiring its own nuclear arsenal “until we know what we’re doing.”)

He so badly wants to use a nuke, and will likely jump at any chance he gets to use one. 


You think Trump is erratic and unhinged now? Just wait until the US falls into a recession and he loses the 2020 election.

 

He’ll declare martial law and nuke Iran.

 

And I’m not joking.

I believe he is recession proof because it will surely be Obama's fault :|

Republicans: The president would never take a shit on the Resolute desk.

Trump: I HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO TAKE A SHIT ON THE RESOLUTE DESK!!!
