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

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.

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.

When it was announced sometime in mid-late 2003, and then but somehow also at the same time when it became a hit in Jan-Feb 2004, Debra Messing approached him at an upfront in May of some unspecified year with tears in her eyes and called him Sir, because his TV show that had about 20 million viewers was on the same network as her TV show that had about 20 million viewers.

IIRC, NBC was still doing pretty well then, so if anything The Apprentice hurt them in the long run.

Yeah, The Apprentice was one of those genius moves by Jeff Zucker that prioritized what was cheap and succesful in the short run, while in the end running the network into the ground. It was definitely a succes, but the idea that NBCs 'lineup' was failing in 2003, or that they got better in the next years, is... Well, why even bother pointing it out...
