Trump displays altered hurricane map


This would actually be hysterical if it wasn't so depressing that this guy is my president...

https://www.krmg.com/news/national-govt--politics/trump-clings-idea-alabama-faced-big-threat-from-dorian/d21zmpNNvNvMnieCATVKgL/

President Donald Trump isn't giving up on the dubious idea that Alabama faced a serious threat from Hurricane Dorian.

During an Oval Office briefing Wednesday, Trump displayed a map of the National Hurricane Center forecast for last Thursday that showed Dorian could track over Florida. The map he displayed included what appeared to be a hand-drawn half-circle that extended the cone of uncertainty over a swath of Alabama.

reply

What does he have against Alabamians? Does he think they're next to Somalia?

reply

What he did is a criminal offense which carries a fine or 90 days in jail. Republicans don’t care.

reply

Trump would rather break the law than say something as simple as “Sorry Alabama, I got it wrong. You were never in the hurricane’s path”. There is something toxically wrong with that man’s brain.

reply

He's too egotistical. So he grabs a Black Sharpie and draws a circle around Alabama, to make it look like he was right. That's how stupid he is.

When reporters - I mean everyone caught what he did - asked him about it later, he said "I don't know" - and looked away. Just like he did when questioned the first time around about Stormy Daniels' hush money payments.

This is who is supporters believe - how sad is that?

reply

I honestly don’t think Trump drew the circle on the map himself... I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to find Alabama on a map even with a GPS and personal driver.

reply

Right you are Jamfo! I doube he even knows where it is either.

reply

Of course he drew on the map. He was the only one willing to die on the hill that Dorian threatened Alabama. Everyone else was ready to move on.

reply

It's actually scary how sky-high this moron's ego is.

He is absolutely incapable--INCAPABLE--of EVER admitting he's wrong...so, what does he do? Tries to lie--ANYTHING to save face.

How in the blue FCK does this guy have so many supporters? Feels more and more like the Twilight Zone by the day...

reply

Scary part is his WH Cabinet and staff will alter policy to RETROFIT his lies. It’s like the driver is blindfolded and they are building the road in the wake of his swerving path.

reply

Wow...great analogy! And your analogy perfectly illustrations the absolute CRAZINESS of the situation!

I'm sick of the Twilight Zone. Let's hope we return to the real world in 2021.

reply

Better safe than sorry

reply

The man's a mental case.

It's clear as day to anyone who is not looking at his Presidency through idealogical blinders. Time to invoke the 25th amendment.

reply

SharpieGate

reply

Lol!!! I was watching the talk shows today and they keep reminding viewers what he did is a felony.

Imagine if a Sharpie takes down his presidency????

reply

I saw that! Did you catch what exactly makes it a felony? Lol

reply

Yes - altering any official information from the National Weather Service. Their official info was the weather map they released - which he altered.

Notice how silent the Republicans and Tr-umptards are on this discussion? LOL

reply

Some source also told a reporter it was indeed trump who used the Sharpie lmao.

The t-rumpers are too busy rallying for the rights of the certifiably mentally ill to own guns to come up with their typical lame brained excuses for Sharpie Gate.

Did you see the video of dimentia don getting off AF1 RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS LIMO and walking away from it in confusion, lol? He had to be redirected.

reply

I honestly don’t think Trump drew the circle on the map himself. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to find Alabama on a map even with a GPS and personal driver.

Trump's dementia is getting worse by the day.

reply

He’s also panicking over the looming impeachment.

reply

I hear they are bringing Mueller back just to handle this depraved violation of the law.

reply

I hope they do. This idiot has complete disregard for the law of the land. It's disgusting.

reply

He can't admit he made a mistake because he realizes how stupid of a mistake it was. He assumes he can excuse it by warping reality by having this mocked up map and photo op. But that crap only works on his idiot base. "Better safe than sorry." Uh huh. There is nothing safe about telling a state it could be hit by a hurricane when there is 0% chance of it being hit.

reply

Imagine if Hillary was guilty of doing this? #MoscowMitch would have her in jail.

reply

How the fuck is anyone supposed to predict a hurricane? Even experts get it wrong and I doubt Alabama was zero chance of getting hit. The fact this even became news goes to show how rife TDS is in the mainstream media. Is it worse to falsely warn a state of a potential emergency, or not warn them with a small chance they are exposed to some danger? If you pick the second, you are being disingenuous.

reply

How the fuck is anyone supposed to predict a hurricane?


WOW - this kind of idiocy is just jaw dropping.

reply

It’s not trump’s ignorance of science, which you happen to share with him, that is so ridiculous; it’s the bending over backwards and jumping through hoop after hoop with a Sharpie to try and “prove” that including Alabama in the states in danger of being hit by a Dorian was a simple mistake.

If he had only retracted the statement and said something like: “I included the state of Alabama in error. False alarm Alabama! Sorry bout that!” this wouldn’t even be a discussion.

We’re not laughing at a person making a simple error. We’re laughing as a survival mechanism because our commander in chief is a narcissistic, ignorant, maniacal buffoon who will say anything to avoid admitting he made a simple error.

I’ve provided you with a timeline of his hoop jumping so you can read for yourself:

You're conveniently forgetting he cancelled an overseas trip to stay in the U.S. to be updated about the hurricane. Meanwhile, he's playing golf and giving incorrect information out. Any mention of Alabama by forecasters on preliminary hurricane predictions would've been at least four days old.

People dead in the Bahamas and the hurricane still wrecking havoc while the president is obsessed about Alabama, getting officials to back him about Alabama & defacing a map with a sharpie to include Alabama.

Is this your idea of a president who is mentally stable and do you really want to continue defending his behavior?

Update: Trump grabbed a Fox reporter to convince him about his Alabama story.

reply

He said it and then whipped out a Sharpie to explain why he said it, but it only showed how much of a child he is.

reply

Exactly. Better safe than sorry. What if it shifted and Alabama got hit? Liberals would be cheering because Alabama is a red state.

reply

Does it have all the 57 states Obama has visited on it?

reply

It has Greenland, as T-rump believes we own that now.

reply

I think stumbling over your words when sleep deprived is not comparable to Trump's deliberate altering of an official weather service projection.

reply

I think making excuses for your messiah is weak. T-rump has said some stupid things. I can admit it. He's not perfect but he's doing great things. Can you say the same of the Democrats, or are you a typical, lock step liberal?

By the way, if I didn't sleep for a week, I'd still know how many states there are.

reply

Not too sleep deprived to tweet about Alabama repeatedly and deface a map with his Sharpie.

reply

Lol. You don't even know what you're talking about.

reply

Did he really believe that nobody would notice that he had used a Sharpie to alter the map? The world is laughing at your feeble-minded insane leader and dopey followers.

reply

Did Obama double and triple down on it when he said 57 instead of 47? No, because he doesn't have the mind of a child. He made a mistake, Fox News made fun of him for it week after week, but he let it go.

reply

47? there are 50 states! lol

reply

He said he visited 57 with 3 not visited. But of course you Trumpers aren't even smart enough to know what was said before criticizing it.

reply

how do you visit 57 states? seems like an rtard to me...

57-3=54 States, still to many...

reply

Honestly, you sound like the rtard. Visiting 57 states with 3 to go is 57+3. Not 57-3. Derp.

Also funny how you switched to something else to complain about after I kicked your teeth in that you didn't understand the gaffe.

Maybe you can edit your post with a Sharpie.

reply

so now you are saying obuma visited 60 states? oh wow thats really bad.

#sad

reply

That this is a discussion is really so pathetic. Obama taught constitutional law so the idea that he seriously didn't know how many states there are is just beyond stupid (almost as stupid as the racist conspiracy theory that he wasn't born in the United States).

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/57-states/

"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

The actual intent behind Senator Obama’s misstatement was easy to discern without the need to invoke an obscure international organization. He was trying to express the thought that in all the time he had spent on the campaign trail so far in 2007-08, he had visited all (48) of the states in the continental U.S. save for one (i.e., “one left to go,” excluding Alaska and Hawaii), but in his weariness he slipped up and started off with “fifty” instead of “forty.” (Note the long pause in the video clip between the words “fifty” and “seven.”)

i concur

reply

I know its fun to troll, but you're just wasting your own time. Repubs gave up on that gaffe years ago. They wanted their idiot base to think he said 57 instead of 50. When those idiots realized he said 57 instead of 47 one time in one speech they dropped it.

Meanwhile, Trump can't even say the word origins no matter how many chances he gets. Its just too damn complicated for him.

reply

thats what he said,

Obuma: I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii,

this is what you said,

ultrapurplez: He said he visited 57 with 3 not visited.

you are clearly wrong and even got the quote wrong, this must be really embarrassing for you as you were unable to even get the quote right.

obuma said he had one left to go and then said he had 2 states left, this is clearly a huge gaffe and a monumental failure. i would be pretty embarrassed for you.

then you said this: when he said 57 instead of 47. but obauma said he had one left to go which would be 48 states, thats still is not enough states as any third grader would know that there is 50 states.
i would even suspect that any 2nd grader would know how many states there are in america, because there are 50 states, not 47, not 57, not even 60.

then you said this: Visiting 57 states with 3 to go is 57+3. Not 57-3.

this really makes no sense really. i asked my nephew to translate and even he has no idea what you are trying to say, is there 60 states? or 54 states? again i am really embarrassed for you as this is just totally deficient on your part. i would read a book instead of trying to "school" people on the internet, this is clearly not your strong point. or maybe i would post somewhere else instead of here.

maybe someday you will understand that there are 50 states in the united states. which is why its called the united states of america. maybe english is not first language, if its not then i apologize in advance. if it is then i would suggest maybe taking a college course or something in history to get back up to speed to learn how many states are in america. or maybe take a jr college course, i think that might be better for you. the classes are fairly cheap. if you need any help with signing, please check with mama or papa, they might be able to help, good luck with this endeavor.

reply

Obama said he visited 57 states with one left to go, and two he wasn't allowed to go to. As I said, he said he visited 57 states with 3 not visited. 57+3=60. Meaning he said 57 instead of 47. Does that mean Obama thinks there are only 47 states in the US? No. But it does mean you're an idiot for not figuring this out on your own :)

reply

Yes! T-rump added seven states to the west coast with a sharpie. The new states he named are: Ivanka, Melania, Stormy, Marla, Ivanna, Pussy, and last and very least Tiffany. He said you can’t pick Tiffany out of the crowd of 57 states.

reply

Your TDS never cease to amaze me. People like you are why this country has so many mass shootings.

reply

If that's what you truly believe - and no one has any reason to doubt you or believe you're lying - then what are you doing to remove T-rump from Office? Are you contacting your representatives and Senators in Congress?

After all, if T-rump was removed from the Oval Office (as he should be) , then there would no longer be people like me who suffer from 'TDS' any more which would eliminate mass shootings in this country - according to your logic you shared with the world.

So step up, be a patriot and not a whiner, and do what you can to remove him from Office. You wouldn't want anything less, I'm sure.

reply

Its not Trump that needs to be removed from the country. Its people like you who have a mental illness that refuse help that need to leave. Your dream is to turn America into a socialist shithole so all of us can be miserable, poor, and unemployed like you.

reply

Ahhhh - didn't think you had it in you to stand up for what you supposedly believe in. So that either makes you a liar or a coward or both, like the rest of the republicans.

What are you talking about?
