Trump ‘suggested firing nuclear weapons at hurricanes to stop them hitting US’, report claims
Donald Trump suggested firing nuclear weapons into hurricanes to prevent them hitting the US, reports in Washington claim.
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

That has to be fake news surely? The link doesn’t work, have the independent been duped? Surely no one is that stupid, even Trump?
He's not the first, unfortunately.
"the idea keeps resurfacing in the public even though scientists agree it won't work. The myth has been so persistent that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. government agency that predicts changes in weather and the oceans, published an online fact sheet for the public under the heading Tropical Cyclone Myths Page, titled "Why don't we try to destroy tropical cyclones by nuking them?"
More from our "stable genius" of a president.

In fairness, when I try to explain to my students that England is one country that is part of four countries that make up the UK, they haven't a clue what I'm talking about.
You are talking about students not the President of the United States.
