Im not sure that Ive ever even heard of a Category Five, Trump said during a televised briefing at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington.
as Hurricane Dorian slammed the Bahamas on Sunday and headed for the U.S. East Coast, hours after being updated to a Category Five storm.
Ive seen some Category Fours, you dont even see them that much, he said.
But a Category Five is something that, I dont know that Ive ever even heard the term.
Three Category 5 hurricanes have hit the mainland U.S. or U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, since Trump was inaugurated: Irma and Maria in 2017, and Michael in 2018.
Trump made a similar comment in 2017, saying of Hurricane Irma at the White House Historical Association dinner that I never even knew a Category 5 existed.

It's a known characteristic of diseases like Alzheimer's and other cognitive decline diseases.

(46,067 posts)I was 15 or 16 and touring Monticello for the first time. The tour guide referenced that Jefferson was on the two-dollar bill.
Like an uninformed idiot (OK, I've owned it), I exclaimed there was no such thing as a two-dollar bill.
Now decades later, having viewed and held several two-dollar bills, I cringe at the Monticello memory.
BUT at least I learned to shut up if you're ignorant.
