Tesla, Trump, and Power

February 12, 2017 • Stan Deyo

NIKOLA TESLA is just one degree of separation removed from the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

Stan Deyo joins us with details behind a 1982 interview he recorded for a documentary with Trump’s uncle, Dr. John G. Trump. Dr. Trump told Stan how he’d been asked by the FBI to examine all the papers left behind by Tesla at his room in the Hotel New Yorker after the inventor’s death in 1943 — including a parcel that Tesla had instructed the hotel staff not to open because it contained “the secret to a super weapon.”

Stan explained what was in the parcel and how it might be used to generate energy from the atmosphere.
