President Trump wants to NUKE HURRICANES to stop them hitting the US

I don't know what would scare me more, seeing a hurricane off in the distance -- or a stealth bomber flying over it and dropping a nuclear bomb inside of it. Yeah, that's what President Trump wants to do.

Axios reports from sources who have heard the president's private remarks and been briefed on a National Security Council memorandum that recorded those comments "that in a meeting between President Trump and top national security and homeland security officials over threats with hurricanes, Trump said: "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?"

Trump continued: "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?"

Axios reports that someone in the room said "Sir, we'll look into that".

The site adds that the briefer in the room "was knocked back on his heels" adding that the source said: "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?"

The White House responded, with a senior administration official saying: "We don't comment on private discussions that the president may or may not have had with his national security team".
