Trump insists that Alabama be threatened by Dorian, shares the forecasting model

President Trump on Thursday launched a new effort to silence critics over his claim that Hurricane Dorian allegedly threatened Alabama, sharing cards to defend his case and insisting that it is unfair and inaccurate to say that the state has never been threatened by the storm.

"Just like I said, Alabama was originally supposed to be hit. Fake News denies it! Tweeted the president Thursday afternoon, following several other tweets on the subject throughout the day.

In the middle of a relentless defense for his remarks, the President Thursday invited Fox afternoon in the Oval Office to Fox News to point out that the forecast for Dorian last week had alabama in the alert cone, providing a graph of the National Hurricane Center and a screen shot of a report. on NBC.

Fox News was told that he had shown Trump a graph before his FEMA briefing last week, which seemed to show an older forecast trail, Dorian heading north across the Florida Peninsula and just grazing Alabama.

Explaining why his Sunday morning tweet mentioning Alabama appeared after the forecast trail had been moved much further east, the president seemed to agree that the forecast trail had was moved, but was adamant that Alabama had been in danger at some point. He also pointed out that, in the past, the prediction tracks had changed considerably.

The White House also released Thursday evening a statement by Vice President Peter J. Brown, the president's adviser on Homeland Security and Counter-Terrorism, who informed the president Sunday of the storm, including "possible impacts of the storm well outside of . "

"The president's comments were based on this morning's Dorian Hurricane briefing, which included the possibility of high winds causing tropical storms in southeastern Alabama," Brown said.

The advisor acknowledged that "the trajectory of forecasts has changed considerably over time" and that some places "have experienced little or no impact from Hurricane Dorian".

The president's repeated defense of his comments on Alabama follows a careful study of his claims made over 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, many models, each line being a pattern, passing right through, and in any case, Alabama has been 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 questioned about the apparent marks of the marker, 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".

The office of the National Meteorological Service in Birmingham has indicated otherwise, tweeting that the state "would see no impact" from the storm.
