.MaddowBlog: Why Pres. Trump’s hurricane antics are so terribly odd.
In recent years, American presidents have routinely been evaluated on their administrations’ responses to hurricanes. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, George W. Bush created a low standard, and there’s a broad expectation that his successors need to take care to avoid following his example.
But that’s not all the president did. Over the weekend, Trump’s preparation for Dorian featured a few key curiosities. First, the president published a tweet including Alabama among the states “most likely be hit harder than anticipated.” Twenty minutes later, the National Weather Service, while not referencing Trump specifically, published a tweet of its own, telling the public, “Alabama will NOT see any impacts from Dorian.
“We don’t even know what’s coming at us. All we know is it’s possibly the biggest. I have – I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a Category 5. I knew it existed. And I’ve seen some Category 4’s – you don’t even see them that much,” Trump said at a briefing with officials at FEMA’s headquarters in Washington, DC.
