Six days after his inaccurate warning that Hurricane Dorian posed a threat to Alabama, the president again used his Twitter feed to complain about news coverage of his mistake.
The controversy began during a hurricane briefing at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, when Trump mentioned Alabama as one of the states that could be affected by Dorian. But a forecast released by the National Weather Service more than an hour before Trump spoke showed the storm’s projected path had already turned northward and posed no threat to Alabama. The weather service’s Birmingham office quickly issued a correction.
In official photos of an Aug. 29 Oval Office FEMA briefing released by the White House, Trump views what appears to be an unaltered version of the map showing the storm affecting Florida and Georgia, but stopping short of Alabama.“No,” the president replied. “I just know, I know Alabama was in the original forecast. They thought they would get it as a piece of it.
Trump continued to fume about coverage of his mistaken forecast on Thursday, firing off a series of tweets that included outdated maps showing a low probability of Dorian affecting Alabama.
