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.
