This IS a bull shit story….
But it just point’s to how much of a vain crazy assed man this countries President is…
Nothing More…
He posted nine tweets and five maps about Alabama and the big storm.
He defended a doctored hurricane map that had been altered with a black Sharpie to include the state.
And he had his White House release a 225-word statement defending his erroneous warnings that Alabama was “going to get a piece” of the storm.
As Hurricane Dorian battered the Carolinas with torrential rain and wind Thursday, President Trump remained fixated on sunny Alabama — a state he falsely claimed was in the storm’s crosshairs long after it was in the clear.
For a fourth straight day, Trump’s White House sought to clean up the president’s mistaken warnings to Alabama from Sunday, seeking to defend Trump’s tweets by releasing statements, disseminating alternative hurricane maps and attacking the media.
Trump also took to Twitter again to defend his use of a doctored and outdated hurricane map that looped in Alabama using black marker — the latest iteration in a days-long, administration-wide campaign on the topic.
In effect, Trump was attempting to bend time — claiming that a projection that was several days out of date was accurate at the time he warned Alabama of a dire threat that didn’t exist.
“Just as I said, Alabama was originally projected to be hit,” Trump tweeted Thursday, highlighting week-old maps that showed a low probability of tropical-storm winds in a small corner of Alabama. “The Fake News denies it!”
Trump’s fixation on his erroneous Dorian warnings underscores a long history of defending inaccurate claims — from the crowd size at his inaugural address to false claims of voter fraud in 2016 to fictional “unknown Middle Easterners” streaming across the southern border in migrant caravans….

Donald Trump has always been about branding….
“President Trump has spent days complaining about how the media has covered a doctored hurricane map he displayed — and his campaign is cashing in on the controversy,” CNBC reports.
“The Trump Make America Great Again Committee is selling sets of five Official Donald Trump Fine Point Markers for $15.”
Politicalwire…
Politicalwire also had a story yesterday about people who follow the Trump rallies around. Apparently 5-10% of those at any given rally go to multiple ones and travel hundreds of miles to attend them.
It’s funny how Republicans used to mock followers of the Grateful Dead (I recall Rush Limbaugh saying upon Jerry Garcia’s death that it was just “another dead doper”–pot meet kettle!)
Now the GOP has their own version of a Dead show. Only with less tie dye and more racist hate!
Great analogy!
Yeah,Republicans as “deadheads”
Who’d have thunk it?
His campaign theme song should be “Touch of Orange.”
More Trump people are getting worried about who they work for….
…
”He’s losing his s—‘…
“President Trump’s aides and confidants are growing more and more concerned about his mental state following days of erratic behavior, wild outbursts, and bizarre fixations,” Business Insider reports.
Said one former White House official: “No one knows what to expect from him anymore. His mood changes from one minute to the next based on some headline or tweet, and the next thing you know his entire schedule gets tossed out the window because he’s losing his shit.”
“They believe that his frustration is compounded by stress about the 2020 election and the economy’s recent downturn.”
Politicalwire…
These ARE CLEAR warning signs that something IS not right with the guy….
But GOPer’s ARE so fixated on keeping out of the wrath of Trump himself and his supporters…
If this was a Democrat?
They’D be SCREAMING for a resignation. or the 25th Amend.!…
He NEVER should have gotten the job…
The Trump pole on second thought are making a cry for help?
Well, until his Republican Vice President and Republican cabinet act on it all this “concern” means jack shit!
True THAT Scott
This ain’t the Brit’s
Same number of tattoos.
Come hear Uncle Don’s band playing-to the mob
Stay away or go alone
He’s come to send your children home…
Good one Dave!
ain’t it the Truth!
I KNEW THIS was coming….
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Friday released a statement that sought to back President Donald Trump’s repeated, misleading claim that Hurricane Dorian could have severely affected Alabama….
Politico
The Alabama NOAA story has a serious side….
People’s jobs….
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross threatened to fire top National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officials following a tweet from the agency’s Birmingham office that rebutted President Trump’s claim that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama, the New York Times reports…
…
According to the Times, Ross stepped in on Friday, confronting acting NOAA director Neil Jacobs by phone and demanding the agency fix its original contradiction of Trump. Jacobs refused the request and was told by Ross — who oversees the agency as commerce secretary — that top NOAA political staff would be fired if the rebuttal was not withdrawn….

Well, at least he was awake.
Ross is well known for fallng asleep during meetings.
Will this stick?
The head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Tuesday defended a regional National Weather Service (NWS) office in Alabama that told residents the state was not at risk from Hurricane Dorian and said no one will lose their jobs….

Update ….
Turns out the order to have the hurricane forecast info from the NOAA Alabama office changed came from Trump Chief of Staff Mulvany thru Ross and over to NOAA….
All this just to make Trump seem right?
I think they also retroactively took away some County Music Awards from the Oak Ridge Boys and gave them to Alabama.
why is everyone picking on that state?
it ain’t fair!😌
The Oak Ridge Boys play for Republican campaigns and politicians. So why pick on them (apart from customary presidential ingratitude) ?
I’d think The Base would be far, far happier if he told the National Endowment for the Arts to order the CMA to give Alabama some of the Dixie Chicks’ awards.
