AP White House reporter Jonathan Lemire says, "His words do matter. He is the president of the United States. Anything he says or tweets can move markets … can scare residents of an entire state. And in this case even after being told he was incorrect, he wouldn't back down from it."

Jonathan Lemire On Trump's Alabama Tweets: 'His Words Do Matter' | Morning Joe | MSNBC
What an effing embarrassment! And the 40% who believe in her are just as bad! Why do folks continue to call him “President”?
he is a horrible human
@Jeremy Backup – When a moron claims to speak for the rest of the morons, they’re likely lying through yellow teeth.
@Anthony Egidio Yes you will, your programming demands it.
Jeremy Backup to your point I wrote a paper on Fox News changing the dynamics of stories by leaving out key points
My main story was about a woman who got kicked out of a gym for “notifying” to the staff that there was a man (pre op tranny) in the ladies locker room and they banned her from the gym for not being PC. I saw the same story on ABC and it turned out she went on a two week tirade ultimately threatening staff and guests and the guests complained until she was banned
See how that little fact changes the entire story to fit the Fox narrative? It’s what they they do and they do it with trump all of the time
He just refuses to be corrected
Nothing is ever his fault. He’ll throw ANYBODY under the bus to keep from admitting a mistake.
And it’s not even like this was a petty correction… it was a correction so that you don’t have mass hysteria at the grocery stores and gas pumps
Folks ignore the 🐷trolls💩Register and Vote Blue!
Thank you 😊.
@Barry Sutton he already lost. Just a formality at this point.
@T Boned The truth is that Trump has rolled back environmental standards on a massive scale….that even Big Auto companies don’t agree with, and won’t follow. Who in their right mind thinks it is OK to NOT push for less pollution, which has lead to an explosion of new jobs in renewable energy, electric cars (fastest 1/4 mile in the world), and a cleaner planet BY US LEADERSHIP??? Trump hasn’t done ANYTHING to fix bad water in places like Flint, Michigan, or the other places in the nation with the same problems.
You are leaving your hopes to a man who inherited untold Millions, who lost a BILLION dollars, and who had all of his products made in 3rd world sweatshops, while you idiots cheer America First!!! Wake up….
@brian gardner So, if you disagree with Trump, you are instantly called Antifa? Do you even realize how psychotic you appear to be? Keep swallowing all of that Trump BS, especially the America First nonsense. Everyone knows that Trump products were made in 3rd world sweatshops by folks making a dollar a day. YOU are in a bubble.
@Anthony Egidio so you think more tax dollars to democrats will stop worldwide weather? look at poverty and education. democrats have fixed both with billions of our tax dollars, correct?
let’s look at obamacare. a democrat program that they gave us 9 short years ago that we are now told is disaster.
Trump: ” I had never heard of a category 5 hurricane until Dorian.”
Me: ” I had never heard of a category 5 MorOn until Trump.”
@Robert The Bruce Hiya, say hello to vlad
@Quiet Entropy which loser did you support in 2016?
@Robert The Bruce It’s cool you changed your icon to a black guy. Way to evolve!
@F8oK8 to long didn’t read
F8oK8
@robert the Bruce is a trumpanzee who’s brain, like his president has failed to evolve out of the primate stage. Therefore to present to that person any amount of fact that trump is an uneducated orange Buffoon and a national embarrassment would be an act of futility and a waste of time. Traitors like the Bruce will fail in 2020
Trumpo The Clown not only king of Israel but also King of misinformation
@Moe Snert You’re insane.
mako zero thank you. I always expect the cheerleaders to mirror the content
@Moe Snert you are pathetic
You mean to say that trump in all his abominable ways is even taking on the role of Jezebel now? The Most High GOD YAH Himself is the King of Israel. The same fate that met Jezebel for playing king over Israel through her weak husband Ahab, is the same fate that trump will meet. Netanyahu is just like Ahab while trump is his wife Jezebel, they might be lucky and escape total destruction since they are ruling over Israelis and not the true Israelites, I’m not sure, but I don’t think fake Jewish people’s count. But because they chose to mock and imitate The Most High GOD YAH chosen, I’m sure they will be made an example of what happens to those who are arrogant and stiffnecked enough to mock The Most High GOD YAH.
President Biff Cheeto says it, so it will be…watch out Alaska
Noooo!! Not Biff!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂OMG! U made me pee a little bit!
OMG! The biggest imbecile, to ever live!
please done insult imbeciles with the association.
The stable genius fired a nuclear missile to change its path. Hurricane of stupid ran to Camp David, I heard
Don’t you folks know you can’t correct the great clown? He knows more about hurricanes than anyone!! Especially those category 5 ones that no one’s ever heard of!!
Stormy Donald knows a lot about hurricanes…
stormy donald cant come, according to another Stormy…
A real man or woman will always admit, especially after consideration, if they are incorrect.
This speaks to Character, of which this president, seems to be devoid.
Are you assuming their’s only two genders, or that men and women are the only “real” ones??
The Alabama arm of the National Weather Service is ‘Fake News’ now? Is this POTUS out of his right mind or what.
I think he was misled about the Crimson Tide. 😂 (Rosco Pico Coltrane laugh) Ala-Bama! …not.
he repeated whatever the last person he saw said or what he read on social media
Trees Pottingchic, wait, he read?
@Trees Pottingchic Kinda like how everyone in this social media hive cluster repeats the same process of talking about trump non stop. What’s it like being exactly the same as the thing you seem to hate?
@Merek29 – They aren’t president. You get that, right?
The orange one lacks mental capacity required to complete the duties of his government job.
He can’t handle anyone who disagrees with him.
He needs to go back to his previous occupation and let grown folks handle this job.
LMAO! so according to Trump, the National Weather Service is also “fake news”?
Words do matter and I hope to read traitor-in-chief’s obituary before I die. Those printed words (at least those that are actual facts) will be nothing but GOOD NEWS to celebrate.
40% of Americas love him for Being a very low IQ individual…That means forty percent of America is easily conned!
Moscow Mitch :and apparently has very low IQ’s as well
Yep!
Are you sure? Most polls have small samples.
Trumps fans, his minions and Fox News always say we should not always take him too literally.
Looks like they know very well that he is not a real president.
Our president is a 5 year old. Can’t take criticism or fess up when wrong. Jesus take the frickin wheel
The next disaster to hit Alabama will be a trump rally. This guy is beyond belief.
2020 people..out with this sensitive dude !
I’m tired of him..America is tired of him..the entire world is sick of this guy ! trump supporters just admit this man is not fit for the job and help vote him out !!
Like Trump, Jim Jones and David Koresh both called themselves the “Chosen One” as well, and their cult followers believed them, the same way that Trump’s cultists believe him. So naturally with Trump being the chosen one in their eyes, there’s no way that he could ever be wrong. This is the way it worked in the Branch Davidian, Johnstown, and Scientology.
