President Donald Trump recently visited California to witness firsthand the devastating aftermath of widespread destruction caused by wildfires and natural disasters in the state.
Trump made a striking comment after an aerial tour of the affected areas, saying that California “looks like it was hit by a bomb.”
In a brief public statement earlier in the day, Trump noted: “Looks like something hit it,” alluding to the scale of the devastation in the areas impacted by the fires and disasters.
However, he stopped short of saying what is was.
“We don’t want to say what it looks like. We won’t talk about what hit it.”

The cryptic remark sparked further conversation among those following the events, leaving many to speculate on his intent and the nature of his comments.
California has long been at the forefront of the battle against severe wildfires, which have become increasingly intense in recent years. The state has faced unprecedented fire seasons, marked by record-breaking heatwaves and powerful blazes.
In 2020 alone, California saw more than 4 million acres burned, with thousands of homes and businesses destroyed in the wake of these devastating fires (source: Cal Fire).
The state has also faced significant flooding and droughts, exacerbating the challenges of dealing with both fire and water-related natural disasters.
In 2023, California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, declared a state of emergency in response to the severe impact of ongoing wildfires, which prompted the deployment of federal resources and aid to affected communities.

The Pentagon has already admited “Direct Energy Weapons” (DEW) already exits, which they say harnesses concentrated electromagnetic energy to neutralize threats with precision.
According to Lockheed Martin, a leader in defense innovation, DEWs offer a transformative approach to modern warfare by providing a highly effective, scalable, and cost-efficient alternative to traditional kinetic weapons.
Watch
Unlike conventional weapons that rely on explosives or projectiles, DEWs use directed beams of high-energy lasers or microwaves to disable targets.
These systems are capable of engaging a wide range of threats, from unmanned aerial systems (drones) and missiles to ground-based equipment.
The precision of DEWs ensures minimal collateral damage, making them an appealing choice for urban and high-stakes operational environments.
Lockheed Martin emphasizes the flexibility of DEWs, noting their ability to provide real-time engagement with rapid targeting and firing capabilities.
Furthermore, DEWs require no ammunition, reducing logistical challenges and enabling sustained operations with a reliable power source.
As militaries worldwide invest in next-generation technologies, Lockheed Martin continues to refine and deploy DEW systems for land, sea, and air-based platforms.
