Trump is such a clever guy with a sharpie. We should start calling him Sharpie in Chief
He never leaves him without his sharpie but his grades are awesome.
So his base believes the National Weather Services map with a little touch up from Trump.
Question: Mr. President it appears that the weather map was altered by a sharpie do you know anything about that.
Trumps answer (I DON’T KNOW)
His report card appears to be real
Media Eats Crow: Day After Trump Tweet, Hurricane Center Map Showed Alabama at Risk From Dorian for Tropical Storm Force Winds Featured

President Trump is battling the media this week over a tweet from Sunday when he included Alabama in a list of states at risk from Hurricane Dorian, even though Alabama was included IN NUMEROUS National Hurricane Center maps as being at risk from Dorian for tropical storm force winds.
August 29 map.
“In addition to Florida – South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated. Looking like one of the largest hurricanes ever. Already category 5. BE CAREFUL! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!”
The media has gone nuclear on Trump over this, including accusing him of committing a federal crime for displaying on Wednesday an early National Hurricane Center cone map of Dorian with a hand drawn extension showing Alabama as a likely target.
(Again, the media LIED. When the storm was ORIGINALLY noted and the ORIGINAL cones of probability predicted, it was supposed to cross central Florida as a Cat 5 and would have affected Alabama and Mississippi, Fortunately for us, it was steered north 50 miles off the coast. We were quite concerned as we'd have taken nearly a direct hit.)
But a map produced by the NHC the day after Trump’s tweet shows southeastern Alabama at risk for tropical storm force winds.
National Hurricane Center Advisory 36 issued September 2nd shows Alabama at risk for tropical storm force winds from Hurricane Dorian.
This map was found on Trump’s Twitter page as he retweeted it without comment on Monday.
The previous advisory, issued September 1st, also showed Alabama at risk and was retweeted by Trump.
CNN’s “fact-checker” reporter Daniel Dale attacked Trump on Thursday, citing his statement Sunday following a briefing on Dorian where Trump mentioned Alabama, “Trump’s whole point on Sunday was that Alabama had not originally been anticipated to be hit but that it “just came up” that it now might be. He’s now saying — obviously falsely — he had been talking Sunday about the original forecasts that no longer applied at the time.”
The quote cited by Dale shows Trump accurately stating the risk to Alabama:
…”Thank you very much, Roy.
The federal government stands ready to assist their readiness, response, and recovery operations. And, I will say, the states–and it may get a little piece of a great place: It’s called Alabama. 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….”
We are now on day five of the media attacking President Trump for accurately saying Alabama WAS at risk from Hurricane Dorian.
Eric Trump Drops Hammer on Media Over POTUS Trump Hurricane Dorian Alabama Controversy

Eric Trump dropped the hammer on the Washington Post and the rest of the anti-Trump media Thursday, blowing away the false reporting that Alabama was never in danger from Hurricane Dorian as President Trump had noted earlier.
National Hurricane Center warning map dated Thursday, August 29, shows Alabama in the field of expected tropical storm force winds from Hurricane Dorian.
“This pettiness from the @washingtonpost is exactly why the public h**es the media.
This is a basic graphic from the NHC – I don’t think it’s beyond comprehension that Alabama was in the path had the storm not gone North. Stop the BS. The Washington Post is a joke. #Alabama”
This has been one of the silliest media controversies of the Trump era; one that President Trump is right on but the media will not concede the point.
Trump said on Sunday that Alabama was in danger from Dorian when the storm had stalled and was forecast to ride up the Atlantic coast of Florida with an expanded wind field rather than the original forecasts a few days before that had Dorian crossing Florida, entering the Gulf of Mexico and then heading for the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and—Alabama. The media piled on prompting pushback from Trump.
On Wednesday, President Trump showed a NHC map of an initial forecast for Dorian that showed it heading into the Gulf with Alabama in its sights.
The Trump NHC cone map had a hand drawn extension of the cone to highlight Alabama being within range.
