Trump Thought China Had a ‘Hurricane Gun’

Rolling Stone: “Near the beginning of Donald Trump’s time in office, the then-president had a pressing question for his national-security aides and administration officials: Does China have the secret technology — a weapon, even — to create large, man-made hurricanes and then launch them at the United States? And if so, would this constitute an act of war by a foreign power, and could the U.S. retaliate militarily? Then-President Trump repeatedly asked about this.”

Said a former Trump official: “It was almost too stupid for words. I did not get the sense he was joking at all.”
