Trump alters a hurricane map???

He thinks everyone is as uneducated as his base is.

And he is still going on about it today....multiple times......

Trump has a new dog.

It's a shar-pie.

[kallend 2,147]

On the whole I'd prefer that he tries to alter the path of a hurricane with a sharpie than with a nuclear bomb.

Well, it's abundantly clear that Trump knows more about hurricanes & weather forecasting than anyone, even the meteorologists. 

Even if he doesn't know what 'Category 5' means.

He could have had such an easier week if he had just retweeted that he got it wrong and Alabama was going to be spared.

Instead he has decided to double down on his mistake by altering the proposed path of the hurricane on an official plot / diagram, then he has had to rope in someone from Homeland security to to back him up that Alabama was going to be hit.

If he had spent less time on the golf course and more time monitoring what was going on he would have had the most upto date information and it would have been fresh in his mind.

He has decided to spend the best part of this week trying to vindicate himself while reports are now coming in that thousands of people are still missing.

The Daily Show showed clips of Trump talking about Cat 5 hurricanes on the FOUR times it has happened during his term. The senile old fool is incapable of remembering that Cat 5 exists.

[wolfriverjoe 1,523]

Well, none of them actually affected him. 

Andrew, back in 92, barely skimmed the area that Mar A Lago is in.

All of the Cat 5s that have hit in the past few years didn't go anywhere near stuff he owns. Just stuff owned by 'poor people.'

So he doesn't care. And doesn't remember.

I'm not sure you guys understand the manipulation here.

He draws a new path to the hurricane and tells everyone it's going to hit Alabama.

 

If it DOESN'T hit Alabama (the most likely scenario), his narrative goes 'I was reacting to what I've been told by several(unnamed) senior people' and 'I'm looking out for the people of Alabama' and so on until people get bored and move on to the next thing...

People who hate him aren't going to hate him more because of it. People who like him aren't going to believe that he's manipulating them. They'll see it as him protecting the country. Basically nothing happens to the status quo.

If (by some fluke) Alabama DOES get hit, he has all the ammunition in the world to aggrandize himself and discredit the meteorologists. 'I'm the brain-est' would probably be said at some point. 

 

There is no way he loses by doing this, except in the opinion of people he doesn't care about anyway.

 

Of course, I don't think he plans it all this way. He works by instinct. He's a conman, and he's really, really good at it.

Trump said. “He didn’t die a hero. He died a coward.”

Says Cadet bone spurs, great American coward.
