Trump denies that he suggested nuking hurricanes

OK, maybe I missed it -- where is the quote where Trump actually suggested nuking hurricanes?

It's now news that somebody did NOT say something?

It is based on a story by Axios based on unnamed sources and is now being repeated by various news outlets as verified fact.

So, nobody has an actual quote, or video.... they just jump into "Trump denies...." then they go to a story about the government studying this WAY before he was in office.

I want it on record that I did NOT say we can stop earthquakes by everyone jumping to create a counter-resonant frequency to the earthquake.

We need to nip this sort of stuff in the bud.

This is apparently the original article on Axios.

No evidence, just rumors.

So, it's NEWS that somebody denies rumors.

When the rumors are widely reported as fact, then it kinda is.

Unfortunately, Trump has made so many ridiculous claims over time that even if he did not say such a thing, a large number of people would find the idea that he did credible.

Even if true, it doesn't excuse a supposed news source from apparently just printing rumors as fact and starting a media storm.

That there are people who fiercely hate Trump does not excuse the media of the need to tell the truth.

Yeah, but TRUMP !

Yes, let’s make a radioactive hurricane. It might put a stop to the US-China trade war and let us get back to, albeit radioactive, normality.

Someone needs to tell Trump that we don't need no nookular hurricanes. Sharknadoes are bad enough but Nookular Sharkicanes would be more than we can handle. (I was going to say "...even with roguetech helping out" but we all know that roguetech would be the ones creating the Nookular Sharkicanes for Trump.)

I can neither confirm nor deny... and that goes for zombie tsunamis as well.
