, Trump once again attempted to prove his statement was correct by tweeting another map with several lines predicting Dorian's path, some of which cross into Alabama. "This was the originally projected path of the Hurricane in its early stages," Trump tweeted."As you can see, almost all models predicted it to go through Florida also hitting Georgia and Alabama. I accept the Fake News apologies!"the map is dated 28 August at 08.06 EDT, three days before Trump sent his tweet claiming that as well as Florida,"South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit harder than anticipated.
The map also has the disclaimer:"NHC advisories and county emergency statements supersede this product. This graphic should complement, not replace, NHC discussions." President Donald Trump references a map held by acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan while talking to reporters following a briefing from officials about Hurricane Dorian in the Oval Office at the White House September 4, 2019 in Washington, D.C. The map was a forecast from August 29 and appears to have been altered by a black marker to extend the hurricane's range to include Alabama.
