    yeah, whatever, Trump missed up, but his supporters know what a fragile ego he has, so try to pretend he did not

    "missed up" or messed up?

    If you meant messed up, then no Trump didn't mess up anything.

    I never thought the left-wingers would get so outraged by a hurricane trajectory map. LMFAO!

    They are so desperate.

    So what ??? That’s an illustration of the Wednesday path.

    Are you suggesting that the storm would stall on the Tuesday location and remain there until it dissipated ???

    What is your point ???

    BTW the other map is the same map.

    It’s clearly high comedy. They remind me of an ant hill which is disturbed followed by ants running frantically and randomly around.

    Trump supporters would gladly accept their King coming in to their homes and ******** on their floor so that they can proudly put a sign on their front doors saying Trump shat here.

    I'm sure they would also allow their Ladies to give him a Presidential Blumpkin as well.

    Except the Weather Service never thought the storm would hit Alabama, certainly not with 95% certainty.

    Here’s a detailed breakdown of the storm projections vis-a-vis Trump’s tweets:
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/09/04/trumps-war-reality-enters-bizarre-new-terrain/

    Short summary: long before Trump tweeted out his warning to Alabama, the track predictions had been updated to show ZERO chance of it hitting Alabama. Which is why the NWS had to immediately tweet out a correction. And Trump, instead of simply admitting error, buffoonishly Sharpied a copy of the earlier map.

    Which is what five-year-olds do.

    Until one of the parents makes them sit in the naughty corner writing “I shall not tell fibs”

    Get the distinct feeling Trump missed a bit of parenting somewhere

    The problem is creating fake news of the variety that can seriously affect people’s lives

    Underpinning that the clear evidence the incompetent in chief IS NOT LISTENING to briefings

    Here is a better image. See below

    These are the before and after. They include the size of the hurricane and not just the possible trajectory and position of the center of it. Alabama is shown to get hit with part of it with a 20% chance.

    Then it changed direction. In the second image you can see the tropical storm winds of the hurricane barely miss Alabama.

    Don't you know? Trump knows more about weather than any meteorologist!

    Yes.

    I visualize, :pray: for the inundation of Manhattan streets
    before we knew if Dorian was going Gulf or Atlantic.

    If it just goes a bit west on Friday. And even stalls for some time.

    And it may effect @DennisTate Saturday or Sunday.
    Not wished for, just happened.

    And there were at least two debriefings to the president updating him before the tweets

    So, the NOAA is just another government agency that is run by a bunch of incompetent meteorologists? Good to know.
