Trump drags his Alabama hurricane claims into 6th day [ Hooray, President Snowflake McBabyhands isn't gonna let this go. Let's hope he makes it part of his re-election campaign. ] 'This nonsense has never happened to another President,' President Snowflake whined on Twitter. When President Washington shouted at the press on aircraft tarmacs, they listened politely like the media should. By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 09/06/2019 11:45 AM EDT Updated 09/06/2019 12:19 PM EDT Donald Trump isn't letting it go. The president on Friday continued to defend his misleading prognostication for the path of Hurricane Dorian, assailing the news media and in the process, digging in and reviving the controversy for a sixth day. “The Fake News Media was fixated on the fact that I properly said, at the beginnings of Hurricane Dorian, that in addition to Florida & other states, Alabama may also be grazed or hit.” Trump said in a series of tweets. “They went Crazy, hoping against hope that I made a mistake (which I didn’t). Check out maps.” “This nonsense has never happened to another President,” he continued, complaining that he’d been subjected to “four days of corrupt reporting, still without an apology. But there are many things that the Fake News Media has not apologized to me for, like the Witch Hunt, or SpyGate!” He concluded: "The LameStream Media and their Democrat partner should start playing it straight. It would be so much better for our Country!" Despite Trump's assertion that he'd originally suggested Alabama could be "grazed or hit," the nearly weeklong controversy originated in a Sunday tweet that declared Alabama was among a handful of Southeastern states that “will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated.” The National Weather Service almost immediately debunked the president’s claim, but he repeated the assertion twice more that day, and one day later he lashed out at an ABC News correspondent who’d fact-checked him on the issue. ..... politico.com
