Summary

It chills me to my core that Americans looked at Donald J. Trump and thought "Yeah, let's give him a shot."

What the Kentucky Fried Fuck is this all about? Rolling Stone reports:

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, according to two former senior administration officials and a third person briefed on the matter.

“It was almost too stupid for words,” said a former Trump official intimately familiar with the then-sitting president’s inquiry. “I did not get the sense he was joking at all.”

Hurricane guns. My god. I certainly hope Elon Musk doesn't reverse the Trump twitter ban – I can't take the stupid.
