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. Thats why theyre the Fake News! Trump tweeted on Thursday.
About an hour later, Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts explained why Trump was wrong.
The president tweeted out a graphic of hurricane model plots . . . to prove that Alabama was at risk and some of those tracks did come very close to the eastern part of Alabama, he said.
But those spaghetti models were from Thursday, August 28th. By the time the president tweeted about Alabama at 10:51 a.m. on Sunday, the forecast track had moved well east.
00:26/01:12
This is the 8:00 in the morning warning on Sunday the 1st, and you can see theyre indicating that Dorian would stay well-off shore and well away from Alabama, Roberts explained.

(11,486 posts)But as Faux Noise stated, that was on Thursday and tRumps idiotic statement was on Sunday. If he'd have been keeping up with the information on Dorian, as he claimed, he'd have known that the storm was no longer predicted to cross the Florida peninsula into the Gulf, hence zero threat to Alabama.
As one of the late night hosts pointed out, at least tRump was good enough at geography to know where Alabama is.
What's striking is that the stupid bastard could have easily avoided this bullshit in at least two ways. First, if he'd have just done a teeny tiny little bit of homework he'd have never made that statement in the first place. Barring that, all he had to do was say "oops, I misspoke" and it would have been over with. Instead we have YET ANOTHER instance of the 4 year old lying instead of admitting he made a mistake.

(16,034 posts)They have done so much damage to our democracy that suddenly starting a little ratings boost by pretending to lambast Tre45on is not going to cut it. When they start reporting truth and helping our democracy, I might take a second look.
Right now, they are just part of the problem, no matter what they might say about the abomination that sits in our White House.
