President Trump again defends his claim that Hurricane Dorian could have hit Alabama.
Later that day, Trump twice told reporters that Alabama was in the storm's path, first saying outside of Marine One that"Alabama is going to get a piece of it, it looks like," and later, at a Federal Emergency Management Agency briefing, saying the storm"may get a little piece of a great place: It's called Alabama.".
But there was one key difference: Where the original projection ended, a smaller, black circle that appeared to be hand-drawn with a Sharpie included Alabama in the model. President Donald Trump with an early projection map of Hurricane Dorian in the Oval Office on Sept. 4, 2019.Asked later that day about the discrepancy with the original map, Trump said:"I don't know. I don't know."
Hours later, he tweeted another map dated Aug. 28 — a day older than the map he displayed in the Oval Office — showing Alabama in the crosshairs. The image, credited to the South Florida Water Management District, includes fine print that said,"[National Hurricane Center] Advisories and County Emergency Management Statements supersede this project. This graphic should complement, not replace, NHC discussions.
