One source present at a hurricane briefing at the White House at an unspecified date told Axios that Trump suggested something along the lines of: "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them? They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?"
The person who was briefing Trump on the hurricane reportedly responded, "Sir, we'll look into that."
But the source added that when Trump repeated the suggestion, people in the room were shocked and thought, "What the f---? What do we do with this?"

Out of touch with reality, [Elton] John recalled to TV host James Corden about the time he telephoned his management office to complain about the weather conditions outside the London hotel he was staying at. “’Robert, it’s far too windy here. Can you do something about it?’” he remembered demanding. “And I can just imagine him putting his hand over the receiver and going, ‘God, he’s finally lost the plot.’”

we live in crazy times when the US president is doing the foreign policy work of Russia so transparently on their behalf

he seems to have an unhealthy obsession with using nukes in a casual sense

Jeet Heer was on twitter laughably suggesting that the nuke the hurricanes remark was Trump trying to get removed via 25th amendment because he's tired of being president. Many cannot handle the truth, that Trump is exactly what he appears to be. America elected Honey Boo Boo and the Senate will keep him in power as long as he keeps rubber stamping their tax cuts.

this exact hurricane-nuking strategy comes up in this xkcd spin-off book, held up as one of the dumbest questions ever received. since trump does not read anything beyond cereal packets and his twitter feed i am guessing coincidence (but what a coincidence)

the saavy in-crowd has this advice: trump likes pictures. if you want him on board, make up a pretty poster board to convey your point. do not write it in a document, because he won't (can't) read it. there are numerous instances of people saying/doing this, e.g. trump's recent visit to japan

“Several other outlandish ideas have been floated in recent years, including one Facebook event calling for US gun owners to "shoot down" Hurricane Irma in 2017 with bullets and flamethrowers.”

Some guy from my work's younger cousin actually got invited to dinner with The Trumps once. (He played League of Legends with Baron on the Internet.) Trump just ordered Olive Garden from Grubhub. Allegedly the pasta tasted like hate and the salad was wilted by racism. He had to use the breadsticks to tamp down the acid reflux caused by lies.

when people accuse trump of being racist, i feel it's actually a distraction from the root issue. point blank, he is a sociopath, a psychopath, whatever. if the blacks vote for trump, he will sing their praises. when they protest them, he tells them to go back to their own country. he has no concern for anyone except himself, and his own power. he loves everyone equally, as long as they agree with everything he says, and hates everyone else equally, as long as they disagree with absolutely anything he says. he is surrounded by an increasingly shrinking circle of people who have been trained to tell him what he wants to hear -- to reformat reality itself, just so trump can accept it enough to graft it into his child universe.
this gets into the SNAFU principle.
say you're a dictator, and you start a secret police force. being above the law, this police force is naturally somewhat crooked. so you start a secret secret police force to police the secret police force as they police the police force and everyone else
bottom line is this: when you are a dictator -- the eye of the pyramid -- you get fucking bullshit as information. since everyone is scared of you, deep problems with actual reality are quietly buried; allowed to fester. grievances are concealed. knowing this, as the dictator, you get more paranoid, order more purges, and the psyche continues until you are so dysfunctional that someone else knocks you out of power.
but, on the record, please god, not joe biden

Biden will play this cycle's Hillary. After he loses to Trump he'll go walking in the woods taking "much to think about" selfies.
