Is SIX years ago, "recent"? (Aug. 25,2019)
Trump's ALLEGED (see below) QUESTION to his advisers isn't "recent".
If ANYTHING involves Axios, we HAVE to treat it as hearsay and take it with a grain of shit.
Look it up and compare it to others who have ASKED the same question(s) on nuking hurricanes.
Snopes: "Did Trump Ask Advisers About 'Nuking' Hurricanes?"
Rated: Unproven
On Aug. 25,2019, Axios reported (using ANONYMOUS sources) that "President Trump has suggested multiple times to senior Homeland
Security and national security officials (WHO? Did THEY expound on this? Nope) that they explore using nuclear bombs to stop
hurricanes from hitting the United States." Citing "sources who have heard the president's private remarks and been briefed on a
National Security Council memorandum that recorded those comments," (WHO?) Axios described two of those occasions in detail.
"(A)ccording to one source who was there..."
Who?
WHO provided them with this information?
No cite, means it's a lie.
"Reacting to the report, Trump declared it to be "fake news," suggesting the claim that he "wanted to blow up large hurricanes with
nuclear weapons prior to reaching shore" was "ridiculous."
"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. Just more FAKE NEWS!"
In response, Axios reporter Jonathan Swan, who reported the story with Margaret Talev, tweeted that he stood by what he wrote,
reiterating Axios' sourcing, but NEVER named his source.
"I stand by every word in the story. He said this in at least two meetings during the first year and a bit of the presidency, and
one of the conversations was memorialized."
By whom?
Snopes cannot verify the claims of anonymous sources cited in the Axios story, or claims contained within documents we have not
seen. As such, we rank the claim "Unproven."
Unproven means it's a lie, until proven the truth. Isn't that YOUR logic?
Why yes... yes, it is.
Anyways... getting back to your ridiculous request, which YOU can look up, by the way... Trump's to have ALLEGED to have asked the
question 6 years ago. That is no more recent than others who ask the same questions. Look it up for yourself, Myron.
