    Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump said Sunday that he's "not sure that (he's) ever even heard of a Category 5" hurricane, despite four such storms having threatened the US since he took office.

    "We don't even know what's coming at us. All we know is it's possibly the biggest. I have -- I'm not sure that I've ever even heard of a Category 5. I knew it existed. And I've seen some Category 4's -- you don't even see them that much," Trump said at a briefing with officials at FEMA's headquarters in Washington, DC.

    "But a Category 5 is something that -- I don't know that I've ever even heard the term other than I know it's there. That's the ultimate, and that's what we have unfortunately," he added, in reference to Hurricane Dorian.

    The comments from the President came just before Dorian, a dangerous Category 5 storm, made landfall on the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas. The storm is the most recent of four Category 5 hurricanes to hit parts of the US since Trump assumed the Oval Office.

    In September 2017, nearly eight months into Trump's presidency, Hurricane Irma, one of the strongest Atlantic basin hurricane ever recorded outside the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, affected at least nine US states. That same month, Hurricane Maria devastated the US territory of Puerto Rico, leaving behind an island that is still struggling to recover.

    Last October, Hurricane Michael, which was originally designated as a Category 4, barreled into the Florida Panhandle as the third Category 5 hurricane to blast the US since Trump.

    Trump has pledged to provide federal assistance to state and local officials to deal with Hurricane Dorian.

    They could have just left that title as "Trump doesn't think" and it'd get the point across

    Monster Dorian pounds the Bahamas: Catastrophic Category 5 storm with 200MPH gusts and tidal surges of nearly 30ft wreaks havoc as millions from Florida to the Carolinas brace for impact from one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes in HISTORY

    • Hurricane Dorian intensified into a Category 5 storm early Sunday morning with max 185 mph winds
    • Dorian made landfall in the Bahamas on Elbow Cay in the Abacos Islands at 12.40pm ET then again at 2pm ET, bringing with it wind gusts of over 200mph and creating 'catastrophic' conditions
    • The vicious hurricane snapped trees, trapped families, and inundated streets with water
    • Authorities in the Bahamas say the hurricane is likely to impact 73,000 residents and 21,000 homes
    • Airports in Abaco, Grand Bahama and Bimini are closed, but the international airport in Nassau will stay open
    • From there it'll head north to the southeastern U.S. coast, and South Florida is back in the cone of uncertainty
    • Forecasters say Dorian likely won't make landfall in Florida, but could in Georgia or the Carolinas
    • Florida has issued an official hurricane watch from Boca Raton through Brevard County and evacuations
    • States of emergency remain in effect in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas
    • Dorian is expected to hit the U.S. coast between Tuesday and Thursday
    • As of 12.45pm ET, Dorian was located 5 miles east of the Bahamas Great Abaco Island moving at 8mph

    Why doesn't Trump just launch the biggest, baddest, most cost effective, american made nuke at the Hurricane?
    Nothing could go wrong with this idea/plan.

    LOL
    I'm telling you it's as if the Three Stooges took over the White House. It's gonna take weeks to disinfect the White House and replace the carpets in early 2021.
