    It has been reported is the independent U.K. based newspaper that Trump ordered Coast Guard Admiral Brown to defend what is a false claim by POTUS T that Alabama would get smacked by hurricane Dorian. Admiral Brown is the Homeland Security and Counterterrorism advisor to the POTUS. I was suspecting that the POTUS 's ego would never let him just admitt that he FUBARRED and move on.

    This report by the Independent is very likely credible. The history of this POTUS and this administration does not allow us to give them the benefit of the doubt. They just lack credibility.

    Certainly a pathetic move if true.

    Here are the predictions of the storm's path. Trump doesn't really need anyone to defend his comments.

    Except that is a spaghetti map NOT a forecast map and I would like to point out what is written in the legend “if anything on this graphic causes confusion ignore the entire product”:p

    Plus this is some time before the time of the tweet

    True.

    That "Map" is just generic (useless) copypasta floating around the RW Fever Swamp.

    So, sadly (as always) it finds it's way to PF. :bored:

    No, not the prediction of the storm's path. That is a possibles chart of American and European models showing tons of possible multiple paths. These charts are time sensitive this chart is obviously built when this storm just barely crossed over the Western Antiles. Why would Trump talk about this storm hitting Alabama? That makes no sense. Peurto RICO was in 100 percent of the poosibles. Did he mention PR.
    FL, AL, MISS, LA, of course the Carolina thevMid Atlantic states, NY,CT, RI, MASS were all still at play at this point in time. Remember I did say this stuff is time sensitive, Mexico was a poosible with this set of maybes, possibles, could be's , may heappens, etc. So one more time why would he point out Alabama as a hit?? Seriously it makes no sense.

    Maybe next week Trump will have some visible nose hairs during an interview. Maybe he'll stop halfway on the steps of Airforce One before waving. Maybe he'll be seen eating chicken noodle soup with a fork. Maybe he'll attempt to toss something in a trash can and miss.

    No this is the result of Trump being lazy and sloppy - something his supporters have been letting him get away with.

    Time to insist they step up to the line and demand he do the job they elected him to do

    And had it taken those tracks that show it crossing the peninsula into the Gulf every state on the north coast would have been threatened. That is what the 5 day projection map he showed showed.

    Only it was out of date

    This is doubling down on showing how sloppy lazy he is. He has a duty and an obligation to ensure what he is passing on is ACCURATE.

    FAKE MAP!
    Why are the lines going through Alabama ALL missing the symbol labels shown in the legend at the top of the chart????
    Not one of the lines through Alabama matches any of lines in the legend.

    Just to be clear-you are citing a UK based newspaper over the US official account?

    Not exactly making the case for war refugees, I'd argue.

    That's a pressure map. Even winds of 5mph are due to pressure differences. See that line that goes towards Mexico? - wind speed of around 5mph over Mexico. This map does not show hurricane force winds predicted to go through Alabama - follow the red line for predicted path and note that none of the lines with legends on the lines go over Alabama.

    As the storm gets closer to land, the spaghetti plots tend to tighten up. Your post proves nothing except that they changed which they do constantly.

    Next week, Trump will refer to his shirt as purple which is clearly lavender. Dems will go insane and demand impeachment.
