On Wednesday, the president took his claim to a new level, holding up a seemingly doctored map in the Oval Office. The altered map was similar to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's model from late August, though Trump's map extended past where the original projection ended and featured a smaller, black circle through Alabama that appeared to be drawn in Sharpie.by poking fun at Trump's map.

He added that the doctored map breaks Title 18 U.S. Code 2074, which says "it's illegal to knowingly falsely represent a forecast or warning issued by the Weather Bureau." Clips from a press conference followed of a reporter asking Trump if the map was doctored with a Sharpie, with the president saying he didn't know. "Oh, he did it," responded Colbert. "Because Trump has never, ever said that he doesn't know anything. That's a sure tell that he knows something.
