Trump double on his claim Dorian threatened Alabama and criticized the media

On Thursday, President Trump said that Hurricane Dorian had threatened Alabama, despite the weather authorities' refusal, and accused the media of media coverage aimed at "belittling" him.

"In the early days of the hurricane, when it was expected that Dorian would pass through Miami or West Palm Beach, even before reaching the Bahamas, some models strongly suggested that Alabama and Georgia would be affected as they crossed. Florida. in the Gulf, "tweeted Trump Thursday morning.

"Instead, he turned north and went up the hill, where he continues now. In the unique model crossing Florida, the great state of Alabama would have been touched or grazed. In the way that it took, no, he continued. "Read my FULL FEMA statement. What I said was correct! All the fake news to belittle! "

He then tweeted: "Alabama was going to be hit or grazed, then Hurricane Dorian took a different path (along the east coast), and Fake News knows it very well, which is why it's the Fake. News! "

The president's tweet follows the media's study of his assertions, which took place at the beginning of the weekend. The issue resurfaced on Wednesday when the president presented to the Oval Office a map showing the "cone of uncertainty" about areas that the storm could hit.

The map appeared to include a part of Alabama and the Florida stick surrounded by a black marker.

Asked Wednesday on the markings, Trump said that Alabama was in the "initial forecast".

"I know that Alabama was in the initial forecast, they thought that they would get it as a part of it … we had several lines directly, several models, each line being a model, going straight through, and in any case, Alabama was hit, if not likely, in some cases, pretty hard, "Trump said Wednesday.

"In fact, they gave a probability of 95% probability.It turned out that this is not what happened.That allowed the right to go up the coast" he continued. "But Alabama … was going to be hit hard, as was Georgia, but under the current they will not be, but Georgia may be."

Trump was then asked about the apparent marker marks, to which he replied, "I do not know."

Trump also tweeted a card on Wednesday night saying "this was the originally planned trajectory of the hurricane at its beginnings".

"As you can see, almost every model predicted that it would pass through Florida, also affecting Georgia and Alabama. I accept the fake excuses! He tweeted.

This has been the subject of debate since the weekend, when Trump tweeted for the first time that Dorian had the potential to cross Alabama. He also said in a briefing that "Alabama could even have at least some very strong winds and something more than that".
