Well some of them are listed on NOAA, as well as most of the ways weather can be modified...If your home or business or property is damaged or a loved one is killed by their weather modifications shouldn’t you be eligible for compensation?

+  **Secret COVID-19 Tests**: In 2020, President Trump secretly sent COVID-19 tests to Russian President Putin during a shortage.
+- **Trump-Putin Relationship**: The book "War" by Bob Woodward highlights the ongoing personal relationship between Trump and Putin, with multiple private calls reported.
+- **Book's Conclusion**: Woodward concludes that Trump is worse than Nixon, citing his impulsive and reckless behavior.
+- **Biden's Leadership**: The book contrasts Trump with President Biden, portraying Biden as exhibiting steady leadership despite some mistakes.
+
+Trump’s advisers having clandestine meetings with foreign country officials? Trump is a r9gue loose cannon. Regarding
+ Hurricane Helene relief, Trump is undermining government relief by spreading falsehoods; but lies are expected from pathological liar. 
+ Seven phone calls to Putin as a private citizen? Trump is a ro7ge, loose cannon.
+
+In one scene, Woodward recounts a moment at Mar-a-Lago where Trump tells a senior aide to leave the room so “he
+ could have what he said was a private phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
+
+“According to Trump’s aide, there have been multiple phone calls between Trump and Putin, maybe as many as seven
+ in the period since Trump left the White House in 2021,” Woodward writes.
+
+Woodward also writes about Trump’s decision to run for president again, including a series of conversations
+ with his ally and golfing buddy, Sen. Lindsey Graham. “Going to Mar-a-Lago is a little bit like going to North
+  Korea,” Graham said. “Everybody stands up and claps every time Trump comes in.” The South Carolina Republican
+   is quoted as saying Biden “won fair and square” but that Trump “doesn’t like to hear that.” Woodward goes on
+    to describe Graham’s attempts to give Trump campaign advice for 2024.
