https://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/trump-octuples-down-on-hurricane-trutherism-with-another-deranged-tweet-four-days-of-corrupt-reporting/
In an angry Friday morning tweet, the president octupled down on his bogus claim that the hurricane was on track to slam into Alabama as recently as this past Sunday.
The Fake News Media was fixated on the fact that I properly said, at the beginnings of Hurricane Dorian, that in addition to Florida & other states, Alabama may also be grazed or hit, the president wrote. They went Crazy, hoping against hope that I made a mistake (which I didnt).
The president then proceeded to accuse media outlets who accurately reported on his incorrect statements of being corrupt.
This nonsense has never happened to another President, the president complained. Four days of corrupt reporting, still without an apology.

You tweeted out on Sunday morning, 100 hours after the early projection showing Dorian headed toward (but not into) Alabama had been superseded. You were wrong then, you're wrong now. Any normal human being would have said, upon being corrected, "Oops, didn't mean to include Alabama, my bad," and moved on. Nearly a week later and you're still trying to turn your error into truth. You've convinced your thick-headed fanboiz that your new clothes are exquisitely tailored, but those of us inhabiting a place called reality can see all your shortcomings.

(64,982 posts)wasn't bothering to listen to them. It's possible he just named Southern states, thinking they were all in the same place on the coast. That's common among the geography impaired.
All he needed to say was, "Oops! I misspoke." No one would have thought anything of it. But he can't admit even a slip of the tongue, as we see when he errs while reading from a teleprompter. He just incorporates the error as though it were actually part of the prepared speech.

(18,748 posts)I don't understand. I'm starting to thing there's something supernatural about his ability to just scream at people and tweet in caps all day, every day. How long can this realistically go on? He eats BM and doesn't exercise. Anyway, I should try to be more patient.

The NWS had to issue a correction.

The National Weather Service in Birmingham, Alabama, tweeted in response: Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east.
Few, if any, meteorologists put Alabama in the hurricanes path. Asked Sunday if Trump had been briefed about potential impact to Alabama, Christopher Vaccaro, a spokesman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, wrote in an email, The current forecast path of Dorian does not include Alabama.
On Monday, Trump pushed back on skeptics by insisting that under certain original scenarios, it was in fact correct that Alabama could have received some hurt.
And then, on Wednesday, Trump displayed the graphic with the alteration that suggested the storm could have tracked over Alabama.

We should be calling you an idiot over the other 20 or 30 stupid things you do every day.

(13,941 posts).... his ego will not allow him to gracefully walk away. He will fire up his base to get their guns and not allow the election to be stolen from their Fascist White Power Nazi brethren.
Will they listen to him and cause a gun up arising and bring their anger to the streets or will they giggle at him and just walk away calling him a sore loser ?
