But I found this one particularly pathetic in the amateurishness of his attempt to change publicly confirmed facts. (yes, on second thought, the letter he wrote for his own doctor extolling his fabulous health was up there).

in Alabama, IF the NWS had NOT come out and invalidated his reckless announcement ?

I've lived through three hurricanes (FL, TX and FL, again), and once the word is out, people flock to the stores and empty the shelves, race to the gas stations and fill up the cars or high-tail it out of town to safer places. The stampede of panicked, frightened people is dangerous.

His paralyzing stupidity and ruinous ego could have caused an unnecessary crisis and untold damage. But instead of saying that he was mistaken, he doubled down on his completely irresponsible comments.

WHEN DOES THE LINE IN THE SAND GET CROSSED ???

Do people have to fucking DIE for this walking hazmat to be removed ?

Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and other Alabama vacation destinations would have been adversely affected by this totally stupid false alarm, especially over Labor Day weekend.

If you color outside of the lines you simply draw new lines.

He's such a small man in so many ways.

WOW! That's absolutely brilliant!

LOL

Awesome.

Needy Amin.

This is beyond sick

to do with this."
Sits back down and watches Trump hold the sign himself awkwardly....
LOL

with possible future projections.

Never mind the obvious sharpie drawing

......Sighs......Yes. Yes he did.

He apparently is still acting like a three years old who thinks he is cleverly fooling the adults in his life. He certainly is not learning how to cover up his stupidity any better, is he?

It's so damn obvious! Who does he think he's fooling? He is such a fucking idiot!

So of course he has a duty to correct them.

This is so in-your-face nuts and totally indefensible. It's the kind of petty, stupid, childish action--not political, not debatable, there are no two sides about this--that even people who aren't interested in politics would realize is pathetic.

Here's that forecast: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2019/al05/al052019.fstadv.021.shtml?

The last item on it is

OUTLOOK VALID 03/1200Z 28.1N 81.5W...INLAND
MAX WIND 65 KT...GUSTS 80 KT.

That's just south of Orlando, the last point on the diagram the Brat scrawled over. Once a hurricane is inland, its winds decrease (the forecast for 1200 on the 2nd, ie 24 hours earlier, was max sustained winds 115 kts - then, it would have been about 30 miles off Vero Beach). So even if it had got to the closest point to Alabama on the real chart, it would have lost a lot more power (below 64 knots and it stops being called a hurricane). And still wouldn't have reached Alabama.

What we have here is a spoiled child who can't admit he's a dumbass who failed at his basic job of understanding briefings, and passing on information to the public, so he's now trying to alter history to get an excuse. It's pathetic. He's said "get me the diagram where it was closest to Alabama", then "yeah, but what if it went further???? Huh???? Yeah, they didn't think of that", grabbed a sharpie, made up his own pathetic mushroom-shaped extension, said "see? That's huge. That's what women tell me..." and decided to embarrass the USA by showing his stupid drawing on national TV like a 5 year old bringing home what they did in kindergarten.

Just imagine the lack of self-respect his flunkies now have.

I want to see this asshole prosecuted for this after he leaves office. It's actually dangerous/harmful to bullshit the way Shitler does.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could take him down with this?!

Like the murdering criminal gangsters it get taken down because of some tax code violation

the whole lot of them. sad.

When was job description for POTUS updated to include “weatherman”?

the original line of the cone.

"I'm smarter than ALL the meteorologists."

Imagine, if you can, going to such embarrassing lengths to avoid WHAT EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS and just admitting you misspoke. How utterly degrading of oneself, and done with a great deal of forethought and yet such terribly oafish execution.

My word, this is a joke. The leader of our country used a Sharpie to alter a map so he cold claim he was right.

And he couldn't even get his own fat ass out of the chair to fetch the lie himself.

the original cone.

This person must be the most insecure human in history.

Scary.

But, of course, they won't.

The party of lies

He's guilty by association and our "acting" Homeland Security Director Kevin Kealoha McAleenan. He clearly has been neutered.

Good luck getting your manhood back Kev.

It is downright sociopathic.

Literally, this is something a young child would do, while knowing it was wrong and a poor attempt to cover up their error. I'm sure all the bobble heads over at FAUX just gushed over it. And damn, is hat the extent of his ability to draw?

He's been consistent. This is a war for credibility. Typical of corporate guy. The biggest liar is always accusing others of lying.

that they really don't qualify for?

This imposter president's shit show gets more ridiculous everyday.

Poor us.

He regularly signs his name with markers because he likes his strokes to have weight and heft.

He also doesn't like to write, but has no problem marking up others work, and the broad line of a sharpie marker makes his pithy comments stand out. Thickest line on the page, and probably in history! Also, in his mind I'm sure, marking a document like a teacher basically serves to jump in front of any potential significance it has like a picket line in front of a store.

If this isn't grounds for impeachment I give up

The President of the United States

Let's say that again:

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, the second most powerful man in the world, is not even trying to hide the fact that he is brazenly lying in front of the entire world in order to cover up a tiny (relatively speaking) mistake he made in a damn tweet.

This isn't funny. It's pathetic, but it's not funny. His illness is on full display and absolutely undeniable, he could and would start a war to save face if he felt he needed to (maybe to cover up his tweeting of that top secret picture from Iran), and the GOP is pretending everything is fine.

Reminds me of a first grader changing an "F" to an "A".

With the wrong color pen.

So, yeah, not really surprised.

What a complete oaf.

"The competition is fierce but we may have just witnessed Trump's stupidest act of narcissism to date."

Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) nailed President Donald Trump for his desperate attempt to avoid the humiliation of not knowing which state was Alabama.

It’s a gift.

to call this shit pile a moron would lower the bar for a real moron... he should stick that sharpie up his ass

This is unbelievable!

Such a pathetic sick pig

Miss you on DK

It's getting to be a very long list.

Not categories, levels. There are only four categories.

Why did not ONE of those fucking reporters in the room ask out loud, hey, what's that big black line over Alabama that someone obviously drew on the map?

I don't care if it's rude to interrupt the president. I don't care that your White House press pass might get revoked.

Blatant, vain, idiotic mendacity of this type MUST be called out, or you lose the right to call yourself a reporter, journalist, or correspondent forever.

the lines.

unironically.

Big League

If this is true, (a number of sources have reported this) then Trump has impeached himself.
Here is proof that he is not capable of holding this job. If word gets out that he drew the black line, or ordered it to be drawn, then it is clear to everyone, even Republicans, what the truth is. While it isn't the biggest deal, it is the proof that is needed, that Trump is not telling the truth about something very important...
...Yes, impeachable offense to present a map that lies and is altered about where the hurricane is headed.

Lying about something this important, is impeachable offense. Now what we need is proof that Trump ordered it. When that comes out, he is done.

You don’t need to be a weatherman to fake which way the wind blows?

Would he even know the difference?
He can't find anything on a map anyway.

In other words, there either was no sharpie line on one chart -- or, in a third level of duplicity, they replaced the altered map with the real map on the whitehouse.gov website.

He thinks we are idiots!

This is like a 2nd grader changing his report card thinking her/his parents won’t notice. Then when they do notice lie about it.

My guess is this map fudging will never be pointed out on Fox “News”.

Would love to see this lying cheating criminal hauled off to Prison the minute Liz or Joe or Kamala take office. Not only is he a crook and serial liar he is terminally unlikeable, a waste of space and oxygen.

"What in the actual fuck" during the Trump presidency from this day going forward.
