The Saga Continues.
Where we last saw our intrepid junior president, fresh from learning to feed himself and make booboo on his own, he was being gallantly defended by a White House Advisor, who has taken it upon themselves to pretend they briefed our tiny handed boy wonder on the dangers of Hurricane Dorain to Alabama, as recently as 02Sep.
Unwilling to take this as a win, and just .... you know... move on... our tiny handed boy wonder has furiously gone to the twitters to continue to claim this is a smear job by the fake media.

"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. 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. 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! The LameStream Media and their Democrat.....
....partner should start playing it straight. It would be so much better for our Country!"
So... again. In a drama in which the president of the united states used SHARPIE to try to draw an additional "area of effect" onto a hurricane map, he is claiming it is the fake news media which is at fault. And claiming that "this nonsense has never happened to another President" (he is correct. We have never had another president so dumb as to try to draw with a sharpie on a map to try to make it support his claim)... and wants ?someone? to apologize? I don't know who he wants to apologize, as the entirety of twitter users has been mocking his sharpie stupidity for days....
And.... he is also trying to drag the democrats into this....
What's funny about the whole thing... is I've only focused on twitter information, because I've been more amused by that. But on the whitehouse website: (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-announcement-state-opioid-response-grants/) they include a transcript of the president's comments on opiod response grants... and because he's trump we have this gem of a comment, when a journalist is trying to figure out why a map was altered by a sharpie:
"I know that Alabama was in the original forecast. They thought it was get it — as a piece of it. It was supposed to go — actually, we have a better map than that, which is going to be presented, where we had many lines going directly — many models — each line being a model. And they were going directly through. And, in all cases, Alabama was hit — if not lightly, in some cases pretty hard. Georgia, Alabama — it was a different route. They actually gave that a 95 percent chance probability."
This is 100% false. Alabama was always an outlier chance. Even in his falsified maps he released he didn't even get it to 95% (yes, he cannot even forge information to properly support his statements). And, if you look at his tweet above, he is now trying to rewrite history, and claim he only might be "grazed"....
