‘Alabama was going to be hit or grazed’: Trump refuses to concede he was wrong about hurricane forecast
Four days after incorrectly stating Alabama was in Hurricane Dorian’s path, President Trump continues to insist the forecast he relayed was accurate, despite evidence to the contrary.
Trump’s focus on the initial forecast comes as the now-Category 3 storm — which is being blamed for at least 20 deaths in the Bahamas — is moving up the Carolina coast, where it could make landfall later Thursday. “I will say, the states — and it may get a little piece of a great place: It’s called Alabama,” Trump said. “And Alabama could even be in for at least some very strong winds and something more than that, it could be. This just came up, unfortunately. It’s the size of — the storm that we’re talking about. So, for Alabama, just please be careful.”Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama.
