This May Be Trump’s Most Far-Fetched Conspiracy Theory Yet

Donald Trump was apparently terrified of China’s military capabilities during his time in office and was even worried about the Chinese government using manufactured hurricanes to deliberately attack the U.S. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

"Former President Donald Trump was concerned during his first year in office about China possibly sending hurricanes to the U.S. and he asked multiple administration officials about responding militarily, according to a Rolling Stone report citing multiple sources.

Trump’s question to other officials was whether China had the technology to create man-made hurricanes and then to deliberately send them to the U.S. The repeated inquiries led to some in the administration referring to it as the then-president’s “‘Hurricane Gun’ thing,” according to the report by Asawin Suebsaeng and Adam Rawnsley.

“It was almost too stupid for words,” a former official who wished to remain anonymous told Rolling Stone. “I did not get the sense he was joking at all.”

Another former official — who also remained anonymous — claims Trump recommended nuking hurricanes. It should be noted, however, that reports accused Trump of this very thing in the past, and he denied it in 2019.

“The story by Axios that President Trump wanted to blow up large hurricanes with nuclear weapons prior to reaching shore is ridiculous. I never said this,” he tweeted back in the days when he could still do that sort of thing."
