I think he asked about it and is lying now when he denies it. I believe Axios, not a proven liar. Sad!

Curiosity about nuking a hurricane isn't limited to Trump's alleged queries, writes scientist Adam Sobel, who says he gets asked about it all the time. The persistence of this idea tells an important story about human nature, Sobel writes via @CNNOpinion https://t.co/095EXzy82N

I stand by every word in the story. He said this in at least two meetings during the first year and a bit of the presidency, and one of the conversations was memorialized. https://t.co/5qs8o1k4QS

Not that @jonathanvswan or @margarettalev need any backup on this, but for whatever little it’s worth, two sources with knowledge confirmed the Trump-nuke-bomb-hurricanes story to me today. Didn’t tweet or write anything yet cuz still making calls to try to advance it, but fwiw https://t.co/0HPUaDYTG0
