IT WAS A MISTAKE!
We all make mistakes. NO ONE went nuts when he got the Alabama thing wrong.
It got corrected.
He initially pushed back, wayyy too defensively.
Then he took a Sharpie to a map, a map from days earlier than his tweet. He actually committed a felony in doctoring an official forecast but no one even holds felonies against him anymore. (Right, Speaker Pelosi?)
He got lambasted for taking the Sharpie to the map. Like a kid who altered his report card.
And yet it will NOT stop.
Just this morning, THIS MORNING, he has Tweeted:
In the early days of the hurricane, when it was predicted that Dorian would go through Miami or West Palm Beach, even before it reached the Bahamas, certain models strongly suggested that Alabama & Georgia would be hit as it made its way through Florida & to the Gulf….

That’s one.
….Instead it turned North and went up the coast, where it continues now. In the one model through Florida, the Great State of Alabama would have been hit or grazed. In the path it took, no. Read my FULL FEMA statement. What I said was accurate! All Fake News in order to demean!

Two
Alabama was going to be hit or grazed, and then Hurricane Dorian took a different path (up along the East Coast). The Fake News knows this very well. That’s why they’re the Fake News!

Three.
Now, you are probably thinking; “Doesn’t he have anything else to worry about, being president and all?
Why yes, glad you asked. He is back to slapping around Debra damn Messing:
Bad “actress” Debra The Mess Messing is in hot water. She wants to create a “Blacklist” of Trump supporters, & is being accused of McCarthyism. Is also being accused of being a Racist because of the terrible things she said about blacks and mental illness. If Roseanne Barr….

This is the president of the United States.
On a morning in which a Cat 2-3 hurricane looms right off the South Carolina – North Carolina coast, the U.K. is a mess about Brexit, Chinese tariffs are disrupting the world economy, kids are in cages on the border, and both Iran and North Korea are experimenting with weapons that can kill thousands, he is screaming about Dorian and Alabama. He cannot take being caught in a stupid mistake that no one cared about.
This is your president.
I have an idea. Share this around, see if it gets traction. We need to end this one way or another. And I need a few thousand followers:
Oh boy. If we all admit that it was certain to slam into Alabama, indeed it DID slam into Alabama, will he shut up about it? It is a deal we need consider at this point.https://t.co/wTf5xtZHtC

I think there was one model that, early on, showed Dorian crossing Florida and then heading east, but that was the only one that did, and only for about one day. (Tr*mp is so dim, he doesn’t understand *how the forecasts work*. He thinks he can convince everyone he ‘s right, if he yells long enough and loud enough.)
The Aug. 28 map he’s using wasn’t generated by a WEATHER agency/service but rather by the South Florida Water Management Agency. There’s also a disclaimer on it that states: “NHC Advisories and County Emergency Statements supersede this product,” and “the product should complement, not replace NHC discussions.” Btw, that’s at the conclusion of a Politico article you can read here:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-flashes-anger-about-alabama-forecast-as-dorian-bears-down-on-carolinas/ar-AAGQVto?ocid=spartanntp
Basically Trump is using a map that was old, and in which most of the possible tracks showed the storm making landfall in FL and turning north. AND that map he’s relying on wasn’t produced by any weather service but a water management agency – which pointed out that there was official stuff from you know, weather and emergency management agencies out there that people should actually rely on! Yet, Trump chose to ignore EVERYTHING the people who have the actual training and experience to work on this stuff and staff the agencies that produce the forecasts/maps the federal and state govts. actually rely on.
As Hair Twittler himself has been known to say – sad
I saw some of the multi-model maps is posts elseweb. The colored lines with symbols on them are real projections. The rest may be historical tracks, but they’re not forecasts.
He cannot be wrong. Ever. He will keep pushing this BS until he thinks he has won. He knows he is being made fun of, that is a huge slam to his big baby psyche. Monumental loser trump is the hugest, most insecure snowflake there is.
Correction, Jason: he was never MY president. As I see it, we haven’t had one of those since January 20, 2016.
True, but you know what I meant. 🙂
Psychosis is right. He just should have kept his mouth shut and let it pass. All he’s doing is augmenting his already massive reputation as a world class ass.
Issue: allies and foes all watch him. They know he’s so easy to be manipulated. Frank Figluzzi on Dateline White House shared an analogy. He moved to a new home on a new street. Everyone on the street didn’t lock doors or cars. He asked them why. Never had any problems. The bad guys, who were stealing from a couple streets over realized there was a street where no one locked their doors. Homes, garages, cars were stolen from. They locked their doors. We have a POTUS who keeps telling everyone everything he says and does is truth. Everything is fine. He will never lock the door so the bad guys know everything they can do.
What a moran.
What a pathetic POS. Has anyone else noticed how bad he’s looked since just before G7? I mean worse than usual? It really shows in the photo at FEMA. He’s been especially cranky since, missed that one meeting there, then skipped out on Poland. Methinks there’s something up with him, and it’s not good.
