“I got it. I got it. Why don’t we nuke them?” Trump reportedly said
, Trump has suggested multiple times to Homeland Security and national security staff that the United States should drop a nuclear bomb on hurricanes to change their path and deter them from hitting land.
But Trump persisted, Axios wrote, “by asking incredulously how many hurricanes the U.S. could handle and reiterating his suggestion that the government intervene before they make landfall.” This was not the only time the president broached the topic either. According to a 2017 NSC memo, the president suggested bombing hurricanes during another meeting. But, Axios’s source said, the idea was never part of a formal policy process.
