President Donald Trump called an Axios story alleging he suggested using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from hitting the U.S “ridiculous” Monday.

The Axios story, published Sunday, wrote that 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.” The story comes from unnamed sources, some of whom heard recordings of the comments, according to Axios.

Trump hit back at the story Monday morning, tweeting it was “Just more FAKE NEWS!”

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!

I don't consider Axios a particularly reliable news source, but given the way Trump has been behaving lately, who knows about this story?

Gee ... maybe  Axios got him confused with someone else.  This sounds more like something that the bat crap crazy New Deal advocates would say!
