President Trump has tweeted about Alabama and Hurricane Dorian at least a dozen times since Sunday, September 1.
On 9/6/19 at 1:18 PM EDTPresident Donald Trump erroneously stated that Hurricane Dorian was going to hit Alabama as the storm made its way toward the United States. Then he doubled down on the claim after the National Weather Service dismissed it. Now, five days later, the president still can't seem to let it go.
In addition to Florida - South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit harder than anticipated. Looking like one of the largest hurricanes ever. Already category 5. BE CAREFUL! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!Except that wasn't true.
Even though his statements have been entirely debunked, the president still continues to defend himself in countless social media posts and comments to the press. Here are all the times Trump has tried to justify his comments about Alabama and Hurricane Dorian:Trump has tweeted about Alabama and Hurricane Dorian at least a dozen times since Sunday, September 1.
Then on Wednesday, Trump retweeted a video posted by the official White House account of his press conference in the Oval Office during which he showed reporters the doctored hurricane map. In the clip, the president said the"original chart" said the storm was going to hit Florida directly and"it would have affected a lot of other states" before it took a"right turn."
