https://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/watch-meteorologist-proves-trump-lied-about-monitoring-hurricane-dorian-every-hour/Maybe he didnt see this at 5 a.m. in the morning. Maybe he missed it. So, after we went through all this nonsense that you just said today, the president tweeted out this map saying that this was his proof of why Alabama was in the cone. All those squiggly lines are computer models and you look at it and youre like, Huh. Hes got us. Look, even some go to Louisiana. And Mississippi. I dont know why he left Louisiana and Mississippi off.
Karins then showed that the date on the map that Trump shared was from August 28. Trump tweeted out the Alabama warning on September 1. There were several maps in between that time that updated the forecast.
This was four days before he sent the tweet out about Alabama, he continued. So, I said, why would you pick four days before the tweet? Why would you pick [that] map?'
He then showed the updated weather map that was posted hours before Trump sent out the Alabama tweet on Sept. 1. Trump said that he was getting updates every hour on the storm. If that was true, he should have seen that updated map or at least heard about it.

OP
It looks like he wasn't paying enough attention to know what he was talking about.

He lies about everything big and small.

but of course he wasn't right.
This whole event was staged (horribly) for him to circle back and claim he was right. Any normal perso would just let it pass.

than everyone at NOAA.
You have a serious character flaw when you think you know more than the experts and professionals on any given subject
