WASHINGTON മുൻ Aides say former US President Donald Trump has asked them if China can create man-made storms to attack the US. The revelation was made in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Rolling Stone reported, citing senior officials who did not want to be named, that Trump feared that China would create an artificial storm and wreak havoc in the US.
One of the aides said he had been asked from time to time if it was possible to destroy major storms with nuclear weapons. After Trump’s question, the term ‘hurricane gun’ came into being. He hesitated for a moment whether he was joking or mocking. He explored the possibility of using nuclear weapons if China attacked in this way. Supporters say Trump shared a number of things that are considered childish.
There have been reports that Trump has asked his aides to use nuclear weapons to reduce the intensity of Hurricane Dorian, which wreaked havoc in the US in 2019. According to reports, Trump believed that nuclear weapons could contain the storm. The revelation in a book by former US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper that Trump wanted to launch a missile attack on Mexico and blame another country for the attack was controversial.
Following the Rolling Stone report, the discussion became active on social media as well. Comedian Noel Castler commented that Trump’s aides missed a great opportunity. He joked on Twitter that China’s use of ‘hurricane guns’ was real and that Batman should have been informed and replied. One group commented that it is not surprising that Trump has a history of making a lot of similar statements.
