Good Lord! Doesn’t the media have anything better to do than report trivial stuff like this?
I can see the situation now. The president is told by his staff that Tropical Storm Dorian may turn into a hurricane to threaten Puerto Rico.
His response:
“Isn’t there any way to stop those things? Perhaps drop a nuke on them to break them up before they form?”
Not a directive.
Not even a suggestion.
Just a simple question.
Several people who heard Trump's suggestions, and others who read about it in a National Security Council memo, told Axios on Sunday that Trump wanted officials to start exploring his hypothesis. During one meeting at the White House, Trump's idea stunned his briefer, who was "knocked back on his heels," an attendee told Axios. "You could hear a gnat fart in that meeting. People were astonished. After the meeting ended, we thought, 'What the f—k? What do we do with this?'"
C’mon. Gimme a break.
