Trump Displays Altered Map Of Hurricane Dorian's Path To Include Alabama

On Wednesday, during an Oval Office briefing on Hurricane Dorian, President Trump displayed what appeared to be an official National Weather Service map from last Thursday, in which the storm's projected path was extended to Alabama by someone using a black marker.

"We got lucky in Florida — very, very lucky indeed. We had actually, our original chart was that it was going to be hitting Florida directly," Trump said.

Trump then asked for, and was handed, a large forecast map.

"That was the original chart, you see it was going to hit not only Florida but Georgia ... and was going toward the Gulf, that's what was originally projected. And it took a right turn. And ultimately, hopefully, we're going to be lucky."

I'm reminded of a quote:

“You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don’t alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views.” -Dr Who

tulc(thought that quote was appropriate)

It's unreal how intense his level of pettiness is!!!! It's a state of emergency. Literally lives are at stake. His priorities have been proving a tweet that was in fact wrong - had to be corrected by the NWS - is right, all bc his ego cannot handle it. He's showing total indifference to how that just stokes fear & panic unnecessarily, diverts attn away.

It's pathetic!

Well you know Trump is stupid and rather than admit he’s wrong he’ll lie and apparently he forces others to lie for him which is scary . The reality of letting a real life malevolent Homer Simpson hold the reins .

It's literally a life or death situation & his priority is proving himself to be right when he was wrong. It's scary that he's so totally indifferent to the wellbeing of ppl this effects. He is unnecessarily causing worry in Alabama all bc he is pouting that he was wrong.

worse he’s distracting attention from areas that really need help with his narcissistic need to be right vs reality. Bermuda is a horror story

TRUMP will remain in office in 2021... no one cares about themselves or the world anymore. We are all waiting for the apocalypse because we have been programmed to accept it.

Why should anyone further care what happens? If Trump shot someone we can call out the poeple on these forums alone who would apologize for his crime, and call it progress.

Remember, we continuously allow this entity to remain in office, and he will continue to do so. Half of America forgot racism still existed, and the other half was nurturing it until the right moment. We have all been had by demagoguery and Lab Coat Syndrome.

gg.

The swamp keeps getting more murky.

did you share the post of the Amazon fires where they were using photos of other fires decades old and presenting them as current photos of the Amazon? The three most viral photos of the Amazon fire are fake. Here are some real ones to share. one of the hallmarks of the last days is deception and it is coming from all sides.

??? What does that have to do with the OP?

...no...but if you'd like to talk about that instead of the OP shouldn't you just start a thread about it?
tulc(just thought that should be pointed out)

Seems it’s not a good week for American geography as well. CNN botched this one:

Just in case someone wants to argue on CNN’s behalf.

You attribute malice where the most likely culprit is ignorance.

The difference is that CNN acknowledged their mistake and quickly corrected it.

We're still waiting on Trump.

Why would anyone do that? CNN acknowledged their mistake and corrected it. Will Trump follow their example?

We're still waiting on Trump.

And CNN is still covering it.
