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

Personally, I don’t see any problem with the idea being touted in such a context. It shows that the president’s mind is creative and that he is self-aware enough to not be afraid to suggest ideas outside the box.

It also demonstrates a serious lack of intelligence.

“We should invent a time machine to know exactly where the hurricane will hit. Then we can properly prepare for it and evacuate people.”

I’m quite sure our government got some flux-capacitors laying around to make this happen.

That would be a perfectly acceptable contribution to a brainstorming session, and you should not, post hoc, be judge adversely for expressing the idea.

Trump is dumb…sorry, cool…

Thank you for the Trumpsplanation.

Thank you for the Trumpsplanation.

You’re welcome. Twelve dimensional chess players are often misunderstood by checker players.

How bout the US government contract out Cobra and have Destro recreate his weather dominator device. Control the weather, control the hurricanes. Right? Right?

This idea is more of a tiddlywinks idea…

Will a Trump worshiper please explain to us what he really meant here?

I’m no Trump worshipper but I don’t see a problem with his asking about it. It could lead to brainstorming even if the initial idea isn’t feasible.

Radiation aside, what would happen if a large explosion occurred in the the eye of a hurricane? I mean, I doubt it would be big enough to alter a hurricane but I don’t know for sure.

“People were astonished. After the meeting ended, we thought, ‘What the f—? What do we do with this?’”

It’s not an idea he made up on his own since apparently that theory has been kicking around since the 1960’s.

Um…did you happen to notice that your own link stated the idea wouldn’t work, and there was a video where a guy from the NOAA explained why?

Did anyone here know about this research before today? I didn’t know so quite likely Trump didn’t either. So what’s wrong with him asking (once)?

Brainstorming? How about this idea:

“We should invent a time machine to know exactly where the hurricane will hit. Then we can properly prepare for it and evacuate people.”

That’s no less ridiculous than Trump’s “brainstorming.”

I disagree. We have bombs. We have delivery systems. We don’t have time machines.

Where would we detonate the nukes?

Off the coast of Africa? Senegal would really appreciate that.

The Gulf of Mexico? Sorry Haiti.

The middle of the Atlantic? Who cares about the fish there getting radiation?

I knew a little something about it only because I had a professor who life before becoming a teacher was a writing targeting software for nuclear weapons. The subject came up in class(remind you, this was in 1999) and how bad of an idea it was. He also said that this idea has been kicked around since the 60’s or 70’s. After that, never heard or read anything about it until this story came out yesterday.

Frankly I think they idea of busting hurricanes would be better served with sharks with freakin laser beams attached to their head!

This idea is more of a tiddlywinks idea…

The reason President Trump is running circles around the DNC, CNN plus twenty three, Obama loyalist bureaucrats, Hollywood, China, the G7 six, the UN, and Iran etc. is because they feel constrained to pre-filter their thinking through their, we-must-make-Trump-look-bad mindset, which chains their creativity. Trump can say, "Crooked Hillary, " and "Obama was a complete failure, " in one context, and “Obama and Michelle are nice people. Hillary and Bill are great people,” in another. He’s not bound by irrational hatred to one course. The left are and are therefore utterly predictable.

If only people could be unconstrained to think of ideas like biking hurricanes and buying sovereign states from other states that have no authority to sell it. If only they could cast off the fetters and see who the chosen one is.

It’s way too early for that crap. Warm us up a little, wouldya?
