Trump ridicules weather forecasters for getting it ‘wrong the most’ when they made a spot-on prediction

By Matthew Cappucci April 29 at 1:53 PM

President Trump took a swing at meteorologists at a Wisconsin rally Saturday, calling out weather forecasters for a bad prediction. The only problem? The forecast was on the mark.

Thousands crammed into Resch Center in Green Bay for the weekend rally. After greeting supporters and launching jests at politicians he has nicknamed in the 2020 race, Trump’s remarks turned to the weather.

“They thought you were going to have a big snowstorm,” jeered Trump, crowds erupting into roaring cheers. “A big, big snowstorm. The people that get it wrong the most are the weather forecasters and the political analysts.”

But the forecast wasn’t wrong. There was a storm, but hundreds of miles to the south. Wet snow blanketed southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, including Chicago. The system was not expected to hit northern Wisconsin.

Green Bay was never under a winter storm warning, winter storm watch or even a winter weather advisory. The “big, big” snow totals the president referenced simply were never predicted by any commercial or government weather agency.

1. Even meteorologist aren't safe from him. Are they enemy of the people too?

Is the weather partisan too? This is just as dumb when rethugs said Obama had a weather machine and he was controlling it.

2. They cheered ... still I wonder about these absolute morons.
