The Wrap -President Donald Trump has floated the idea of using nuclear bombs to weaken hurricanes before they reach U.S. land, according to an Axios report on Sunday, prompting many on social media to note that it sounds a whole lot like a plot line from the “Sharknado” sci-fi comedy film series. .
On Friday, an unnamed individual who attended a White House briefing about hurricanes told Axios that the president asked during the meeting, “Why don’t we nuke them?”
“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 told Axios, paraphrasing the POTUS’ remarks.
...According to Axios, Trump floated the idea in a second conversation with an unnamed senior administration official which was recorded in a 2017 National Security Council memo.

Only an idiot would suggest a nuclear weapon explosion in a big storm would be a good thing. it would spread radiation everywhere the hurricane goes. But then again in trumpland nothing has consequences.
