Playing 4-D Chess During a Hurricane Tends to end Badly
It's the perfect October surprise. If Trump claims the 2024 election was stolen due to the deep state either creating or steering Hurricane Helene to cause maximum damage among his voters, then he will be acknowledging a technology he failed to stop while in office. If he pretends he didn't know until now, he comes off as either a liar or Boob, or worse, he'll be dismissed by those who orchestrated this unnatural disaster as a scientific illiterate, just like he was demonized for 'bleaching' his own blood during Covid. Either way, the Commies win! USSA! USSA!

That would indeed be quite a scenario! If Trump were to claim a hurricane was manipulated to affect the 2024 election, it would create a number of political dilemmas. On one hand, it could feed into existing narratives about the "deep state" and government overreach. On the other, acknowledging weather manipulation would suggest an advanced technology that raises questions about his own time in office and why such a threat wasn't dealt with.
If he claims ignorance, it could undermine his image as the candidate who promises to "drain the swamp" and remain in control of such forces. If he suggests he knew but couldn’t act, it could make him look weak or complicit in failing to protect his base. Additionally, like the infamous disinfectant comment, such a claim might be weaponized to discredit him further, painting him as gullible or scientifically uninformed. In this tangled scenario, those who oppose him could easily spin it to their advantage, framing his response as out of touch, ill-informed, or contradictory.
It would make for quite the "October surprise," although the unpredictability of the political landscape means that it might not play out exactly as his detractors hope. However, the way it taps into concerns about the government, technological overreach, and environmental disasters certainly feeds into ongoing fears about the manipulation of global events. Whether or not such an event would swing voters is anyone's guess, but it would definitely escalate the already high-stakes drama leading into the election.
