The President of the United States altered a National Hurricane Center map with a sharpie to falsely extend the official forecast toward Alabama so he didn't have to admit he was wrong in a tweet. https://t.co/i0CJcYV4yqpic.twitter.com/pR57IL6WfT
Yup, he's an embarassment and a fool. I don't know why he can't let this go either. It's so obviously terrible for him. The image of that idiotic sharpie in the oval office [Reply]
President Donald Trump ordered aides to pressure the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) into issuing a clarification to justify his false claims about Hurricane Dorian hitting Alabama, according to multiple reports.
According to both The New York Times and the Washington Post, Trump instructed his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to push for a correction by the NOAA, which oversees the National Weather Service (NWS) after its office in Birmingham, Alabama contradicted Trump.
In response to a question Wednesday from a reporter about whether he had played a role in the NOAA issuing the statement, Trump said: "I never did that. I never did that. That's a whole hoax by the fake news media."
So trump is now forcing the us government to lie for him. Like I said before it's moved from silly to a real scandal. I mean, long ago trump's lying metastasized into the republican party, but forcing people in the government to lie for him (and to lie about official weather shit!) or lose their jobs is yet another low for this despicable moron.
Like we're not that far away from him having the NOAA hype people that an incoming tropical storm is actually a severe hurricane, then trying to take credit when the damage isn't what you'd see from a severe hurricane. [Reply]

"Trump is losing it, he looks like he's ready to tweet a false weather forecast, then, when called out, insist he was right, doctor an official weather map to "show" he was right, and then force the NOAA to back up his lie"
