The Trumpification of a deadly hurricane turned a forgettable flub into an unforgettable presidential feud
The tone of the entire Trump presidency was captured this week with the simple swipe of a black Sharpie.
Thursday marked the fifth day that Trump was fixated on the idea that the state of Alabama was in the path of deadly Hurricane Dorian, which devastated the Bahamas and is now off the southeast coast of the U.S. As the controversy escalated with “Sharpiegate” trending on Twitter, Trump tweeted out an early map of the storm — issued days before the president’s first Alabama tweet — that did not come from the National Hurricane Center: “This was the originally projected path of the Hurricane in its early stages. As you can see, almost all models predicted it to go through Florida also hitting Georgia and Alabama.
“There is a potentially life-threatening hurricane headed for the Carolinas, and any distraction from making people aware of the potential consequences is not doing anyone a favor,” said Dan Sobien, president of the National Weather Service Employees Organization. “This is a distraction from what the official government message should be right now.”
