Sharpie-gate? Trump shows apparently altered hurricane map

[Jingthing]

You mean he acts like a municipal sewage worker instead of as the leader of a country ?

Don't insult sewage workers. They do honest work.

What's the point of bashing him ??  Better luck in the next election but Trump will win again.  No one better right now.  Bashing doesn't help UNLESS  it makes  You feel better. 

Anyone is better.

"It is a violation of federal law to falsify a National Weather Service forecast and pass it off as official, as President Trump did here."

A fake new hurricane. Everyone knows that Trump does hurricanes so much bigger and better. If it was his own hurricane, it would have carried on all the way to Wyoming.

 

Quick - look over there everyone, Obama's birth certificate!

Yeah, nevermind that Trump may have broken the law with this pointless act of stupidity.  But hey, he's broken the law before and he will do it again.  He's the President, laws don't apply to him!

people hadn't died

 

Carolinas arent't severely impacted

He's just <deleted> off that when it was the turn of the letter D to be used they called it Dorian and not Donald.

Which government? The "trump" government is denialist. 

[bristolboy]

What old map was that? As the photo in post #72 shows, there was no old map showing Alabama was threatened. The US weather service says it wasn't threatened. Trump didn't just hold up a map. Trump explicitly warned that Alabama was threatened. It wasn't. Only after that did he produce the doctored map. Stop making things up.

I'm guessing his Alabama fixation has something to do with his high poll ratings there.

I feel like I belong in a mental institution even replying to this inanity, but the photo in post #72 is from 5 days ago. Trump used that old map yesterday when talking about paths that the Hurricane didn't take. Hurricane Dorian was out at sea off the coast of Georgia at the time he gave that briefing. It is now nearly in to North Carolina. The Fake News media is losing its collective mind because of a mark on a five day old map that was only trotted out to show the path the storm wasn't taking. Do you understand how ridiculous this is now?

Do you understand that the hurricane was never predicted to be a threat to Alabama?  And that Trump claimed it was?

 

"Asked about the altered hurricane forecast chart at a White House event on opioids Wednesday afternoon, Trump said his briefings included a “95 percent chance probability” that Alabama would be hit. When asked whether the chart had been drawn on, Trump said: “I don’t know; I don’t know.”"

Do you also understand that the map in post #72 was the same map that Trump used on Wednesday but this time with a section of Alabama included via a Sharpie?

I've got a friend who used to work for the government and was a direct advisor to one of Trumps senor cabinet secretaries. There is a lot of truth in that he doesn't read very much, and that everything that was going to be sent to the president had to have minimal words and BIG pictures. Going by this, even that strategy doesn't work.

Sounds like one of those previous administrations hold overs! They just can't help themselves when it comes creating fake news,another he said she said

Trump Altered Dorian Map to Show Storm Threatened Alabama

 

President Donald Trump was the one who used a black Sharpie marker to alter an official National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration map to include Alabama in Hurricane Dorian's trajectory during an Oval Office presentation earlier this week, The Washington Post reported.

"No one else writes like that on a map with a black Sharpie," a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity told the Post.

Since Sunday, Trump has aggressively defended his false claim that Hurricane Dorian was likely to hit Alabama, even after the National Weather Service stressed that "no impacts from Hurricane Dorian will be felt across Alabama."

Yes and if you've noticed that he's gotten even worse, you're correct, because in fact he has. "trump" getting worse quantified  --

Trump’s Wacky, Angry, and Extreme August

 

President Trump ended August as he began it, with a blast of angry tweets, ad-hominem insults, and bizarre fulminations that have become so standard that they no longer receive the attention they deserve—emanating, as they do, from the world’s most powerful leader.
