If you follow the senile logic, a nuke very well may end a hurricane. That much overpressure and heat added to the environment is going to affect it - and the living things on the only habitable biome…
No, they’re too weak. Trump wasn’t the only person with that idea, so NHS has had a discussion of the math up for years: https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd-faq/#Stop
The tl;Dr is that hurricanes have much more power tied up into them than currently used nukes release, by a tremendous amount. Quoting:
The heat release is equivalent to a 10-megaton nuclear bomb exploding every 20 minutes. According to the 1993 World Almanac, the entire human race used energy at a rate of 1013 watts in 1990, a rate less than 20% of the power of a hurricane
I…I kind of wonder if he means something like the iron dome that Israel has. I’m trying to translate his senile brain into something that is tangible.
But then again… we’re talking about a man who said a nuke could get rid of a hurricane.
Sigh
Read the comments about his thoughts on magnets elsewhere in this thread and realize he means exactly what he says, no translation required.

TIL 👍
FTA:
Trump criticized sending “billions of dollars out of the countries so they can build a dome, but we don’t have a dome ourselves.”
“We’re going to have the greatest dome ever,” he continued.
Don’t forget the part about curing covid-19 with bleach.
“We’ll make ours out of glass, not iron, so the sun can shine through.”
