The question I was asked most today by fellow World Leaders, who think the USA is doing so well and is stronger than ever before, happens to be, “Mr. President, why does the American media hate your Country so much?

SCOOP: President Trump has suggested multiple times to senior Homeland Security and national security officials that they explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from hitting the United States. https://t.co/4vidIuiijA— Axios (@axios) August 25, 2019

OK... at least that's so completely stupid and insane that no one else around him could ever think otherwise
― flappy bird, Monday, 26 August 2019 01:43 (four years ago) link
never say never
A different senior administration official, who has been briefed on the president's hurricane bombing suggestion, defended Trump's idea and said it was no cause for alarm. "His goal — to keep a catastrophic hurricane from hitting the mainland — is not bad," the official said. "His objective is not bad."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/26/donald-trump-suggests-nuking-hurricanes-to-stop-them-hitting-america-report
Shortly after Trump came to power National Geographic published an article pointing out how frequent the idea of nuking hurricanes has been over the last few decades: “It’s an appealing thought, especially when, during hurricane season, we’re annually reminded of the immense destruction wrought by these storms.
“And it’s probably why, every year for the past six decades, government agencies have received missives from concerned citizens, urging preemptive attacks against hurricanes using nuclear weapons.”
I...got nothing.

The solution is simple: we must build a wall against hurricanes, but make the hurricanes pay for it!

I'm sure there's a discrete mental disorder wherein one speaks extemporaneously like a three-year-old with no conception of how the world works and then vehemently denounces ever having said those things once it's pointed out how profoundly wrong + stupid those things are and never learning from this process at all...but I'm not sure what mental disorder that is.

I don't know, what's so strange about the second clip? he just sounds tired and looks a lot older like all presidents do after a few years. didn't he just get back from the G7? he's probably just wrecked.
