Trump Wants Everyone to Stop Talking About Him Altering Hurricane Map RIGHT NOW!
Donald Trump kicked off day SIX of the Hurricane Dorian Alabama map flap story with a demand for an apology from the media.
In a series of tweets — the latest of at least 12 so far this week on the subject — Trump blasted the media for being “fixated” on the story.
“The Fake News Media was fixated on the fact that I properly said, at the beginnings of Hurricane Dorian, that in addition to Florida & other states, Alabama may also be grazed or hit,” Trump wrote. “They went Crazy, hoping against hope that I made a mistake (which I didn’t). Check out maps.”

“This nonsense has never happened to another President,” Trump wrote. “Four days of corrupt reporting, still without an apology. But there are many things that the Fake News Media has not apologized to me for, like the Witch Hunt, or SpyGate!”

A new report from the Washington Post quotes a White House official claiming Trump personally doctored the map showing Alabama to be in Dorian’s potential path with a Sharpie.
Twitter is amazed that Trump is still harping on this, six days later:
DUDE!!! Making mistakes is HUMAN & NORMAL but BEING A MISTAKE is a unique category reserved for a select few: Hitler, Manson… and YOU. https://t.co/3n5TP2cBKX

This is just sad to watch now. What emotional traumas do you have to endure as a child to turn out like this? https://t.co/8SMCIukbxT

Trump didn't say Alabama "may also be grazed or hit."
He said it would "most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated." https://t.co/UWEQudu9l9

This is a lie. He said that those states would “most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated,” and retreated to this position because the exact opposite was true. https://t.co/i9NEiqsmyS
