What, for any other President, would have been brushed off as a slip of the tongue, President Donald Trump has turned his false claim that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama into a week-long scandal.
Trump first made the incorrect claim in a tweet on September 1, despite updated maps showing that Alabama would feel none of Dorian's effects. The National Weather Service and others corrected him and Trump's fixation began.
Trump unleashed an angry tweet at ABC News's Jon Karl for questioning his claim. Days later, the president displayed an outdated official forecast, sloppily altered with black permanent marker to include Alabama.
Backlash immediately ensued, and how has Trump responded?
Yup, he's still tweeting.
This was the originally projected path of the Hurricane in its early stages. As you can see, almost all models pred… https://t.co/BogxK40zE1— Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump)1567635831.0

Just as I said, Alabama was originally projected to be hit. The Fake News denies it! https://t.co/elJ7ROfm2p— Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump)1567714445.0
And tweeting.
....Instead it turned North and went up the coast, where it continues now. In the one model through Florida, the Gr… https://t.co/OvkyDRpGEr— Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump)1567684136.0

Even at the time of the writing of this article, Trump managed to tweet again in yet another rant.

Girl, just shut up about it!
Trump is incessantly sharing outdated forecasts to prove himself right. Even if week-old forecasts indicated that the hurricane might brush the tip of southwestern Alabama, does that excuse the fact that Trump himself altered a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration map (against federal law) to make the President look good?
What's more, he isn't even right, y'all.
This is too perfect. As I conjectured when all this clown show began, he misinterpreted the wind probability maps (… https://t.co/z2ZIgyqCig— Alberto Cairo (@Alberto Cairo)1567723421.0

People are seriously so over it.
Either Trump is spending his days being an internet troll or he's really this unhinged. What a time to be alive. https://t.co/Z65Mvx53eX— Josh Jordan (@Josh Jordan)1567715104.0
