NOAA Feuds With National Weather Center Over Dorian Projections | Hardball | MSNBC

    1. It’s more important to trump to prove he was “right” than to keep the populace of Alabama safe and not panicked for no reason.

    2. Andreas Hatz : And Alabama did NOTHING, despite Trump’s, “warnings.” That’s Trump Country. That was the day they PROVED what we were all thinking: Even Trump Tramps DON’T, “believe,” Trump. So long as he stays Racist and Greedy, his fans will PRETEND to believe whatever bursts out of the Orange Orifice . . . 🤣

    3. Victoria Baker : But it was their lack of, “panic,” in Alabama that was more telling, right? Trump’s own people didn’t, “believe,” him.

  1. It’s not that he gave outdated information that could happen to anyone it’s the fact that when it was pointed out instead of admitting he was wrong he sharpies up a fake report and refuses to admit he made a mistake.

    The kind of behavior I would expect from a five year old not our president.

    1. No, he’s the President. He’s not supposed to have out of date information, especially if it could cause panic and disruption

    2. Comrade Trump that’s not what I meant I meant I could understand mixing up and giving old information there is a lot expected out of him and it will happen name one president who always got it right.

      Differences is those presidents admitted they where wrong and corrected it ASAP rather then double down just so they wouldn’t be proven wrong.

    1. @Pop Pop Not to leave out that the Night’s Watch (the Senate) seems “dead set” on protecting and rebuilding it!

  2. It’s almost like Trump’s testing how stupid the lie can be before his supporters start not believing him. He’s like a racing driver trying to find the limit before a big race….. Nah. He’s just senile.

    1. We need to understand that Trump is a spoiled 14-year-old who never grew up. He’s never _had_ to grow up. This is the first time in his life that he’s ever been seriously challenged and he’s reverted to full-blown childish brat mode.

    2. For his base, Trump targeted, courted and nurtured those with significantly low intellect, and complete inability for independent thought. They haven’t failed him yet.

  3. This is the same circus clown who also claimed that his father was born in Germany, when everyone knows he was born in NY.

    1. @Kip McEwen my state, NC, is getting hit by the storm right now, yet trump is still going on about Alabama. He’s barely mentioned either Carolina. And why would he even care about Alabama, except for the fact that he was wrong? He couldn’t even be bothered to not play golf after canceling a state visit and the Bahamas were being devastated.

    2. David J Relativism (“intellectual” arrogance), (false) Religion, Socialism and Fake msm Media are the Enemies of the people! ✝️🇺🇸 The techno-f*scists of Facebook, YouTube, Google, Pinterest, Twitter, Wikipedia and AmazineWashCompost with their Fake News friends form the greatest threats for freedom of humanity ever‼️ Example: the WashCompost issued 15 corrections on a single story from July 23 about black people in the South struggling to retain their farmland. The reporter, eh activist Korsha Wilson, featured over a dozen errors ranging from a name misspelling to omissions and FACTUALLY incorrect reporting. The beginning of the corrections section said the article icluded “many errors.”

  4. The only people that believe it wasn’t Trump that used a sharpie is his brainwashed supporters, every other person knows exactly who it was. 🙄

    1. @Mulinaster drumph still ain’t done crap about hurricane damage. Plus he wasn’t on top of crap. At the time of his tweet he was reading an old map when we all had already heard and seen the news and the weather. He spent 5 days spewing crap instead of working. Alabama weather was correct at that time.

    2. @Mulinaster you just said ” until a couple days before “. Which means his information was behind the times. Probably too busy golfing. 2 spaghetti lines out of 20. And it was old info. I’ll say it as many times as you like. Old information. drumphs got more pressing issues now anyway.

    3. ​@Tim D At least 10 of the spaghetti lines would have significantly impacted Alabama, with two of them having direct eye contact. Even the outer bands hitting SE Alabama would be significant cause for the concern Trump expressed in the 4 Tweets, none of which would have taken more than 5-10 minutes of his time to send out. True, his information was outdated, but any President has many objects on his plate at once – given what we have going on with China, Iran, tariffs, the wall, NK, NATO, Amazon/Brazil, and countless other recent relevant developments. I doubt he spent or had more time than 30 minutes to spend on his golf outing, and on most of those occasions he is seen talking on the phone with world leaders. Efficient business practice at work.

      The media has been wasting America’s time over this small blunder more than Trump, insisting that Trump defend himself in this nonsensical back and forth and wasting NOAA’s time to back up the President on this. It takes two to tango!

    1. Democrats have shown themselves to be guttersnipes who slam Trump 24 7 instead of doing something constructive to deal with the hurricane both before and after. Dems are political party first America second hacks that politicize anything and everything in their faux outrage.

    2. @cmt 63, whoever would have thought that’d be an endorsement for a presidential candidate, “he’s not delusional.”

    3. @Kip McEwen just WTF is drumph doing? Nothing! The storm is still going and all you repubs can do is hide under moscow mitch’s bed. 4 impeachment inquires now. A record. Nice golden boy you got there. Oh. I meant orange.

  5. something tells me trump used this same technique to doctor up his school report cards from all F’s to all A’s

    1. Democrats have shown themselves to be guttersnipes who slam Trump 24 7 instead of doing something constructive to deal with the hurricane both before and after. Dems are political party first America second hacks who politicize anything and everything in their faux outrage.

    2. I mean what are the qualifications for becoming president? Being an american citizen and not being a felon right? Do you need good grades at that point? ….. or are there more qualifications?

    3. His parents must be very dumb to buy such cr*p from him.

      Again, I blame his parents for raising such an awful human being. They should be prosecuted if they’re still alive.

  6. Any other President would be talking about helping the Destroyed Northern Bahamas INSTEAD:   Of the Bahamas, US President Donald Trump has said: “I guess you would call it a British protectorate. But I will do a lot.” While lying about a Sharpie.

    1. He wants to buy Bahamas and he is angry nobody is giving him a good deal. If they give him Bahamas he would help them…like he did in Puerto Rico…send them towels

  7. I guess Trump got his chubby little hands at NOAA and had them say what he wants. Another sad day that anyone would have to listen to the most delusional man on earth. Trump is like the crazy raving lunatic Thad t talks about non sense sitting on the floor at the corner of the street.

    1. Democrats have shown themselves to be guttersnipes who slam Trump 24 7 instead of doing something constructive to deal with the hurricane both before and after. Dems are political party first America second hacks who politicize anything and everything in their faux outrage.

    2. why would two weather authorities / agencies feud about something stupid? they could have just let it go since it is already in the past.

    3. @Renato De Castro Except Trump is the one who won’t let it go and now Trump basically made a scientific organization side with him even when their own information proves Trump wrong.

    4. DeadlyMargiKarp223 the response from nsw to noaa was a smack on why they spending a lot of time on something stupid that they where agreeing with trumpy.

    5. @Renato De Castro How ignorant are you? NOAA’s own data proves Trump wrong. The fact that they are actually siding with him even when their own data contradicts Trump’s claim is dangerous.

  8. SpankyPants tRump is now feuding with the National Weather Center or should I say “weathermen/women.” Whats next a feud between Spanky & the Dept. of Sewage & Sanitation?

    1. Democrats have shown themselves to be guttersnipes who slam Trump 24 7 instead of doing something constructive to deal with the hurricane both before and after. Dems are political party first America second hacks who politicize anything and everything in their faux outrage.

    2. Kippy : SpankyPants was in charge when that hurricane smashed Puerto Rico not Hillary or Obama. Spanky is in charge of this hurricane fiasco. Bush was in charge during Katrina. Nice try at deflection tRump turd. Kippy here is not only a trollski but a botski I have noticed. He sends out the same reply to others I have noticed & I will no longer reply to this botski.

    1. I wonder if he has any friends? In the way normal people have friends. I would imagine he only has sycophantic business acquaintances that he thinks are friends but who can barely tolerate him in public. Same way Melanie does. 🤣

    2. @Lorric Logging It has nothing to do with the Democrat party. You’re blind if you can’t see everything Trump has done to hurt our country in such a short period of time.

    3. I don’t want anything that could be described as “best” for the Republican party. Only genocide will work.

  9. Imagine Trump having to deal with the Cuban Missile Crisis, all Republicans have to take responsibility for this farcical presidency
