Trump drags ‘Sharpiegate’ into second day as latest self-inflicted wound festers
Roll Call ^ | 9/5/19 | John T. Bennett

President Donald Trump on Thursday dragged another self-created scandal into another day as he defended a map he displayed a day earlier of Hurricane Dorian’s expected path that appeared to have been altered, prompting howls from Democrats and accusations that he was putting lives in danger.

White House aides were eager last week to portray a commander in chief as deeply involved in the federal government’s efforts to prepare for and respond to Dorian. The storm even did the Trump team a favor when it turned away from Florida, sparing the Sunshine State the kind of catastrophic direct hit that left at least 20 dead and catastrophic damage in the Bahamas.

Yet, the president himself has delivered an uneven performance...He played golf twice over the weekend, even as the hurricane gained strength and slammed into the Bahamas.

...Pete Buttigieg was asked about the apparently doctored map Thursday morning on CNN. He replied: “I’m really worried about him.

Buttigieg, who a recent Quinnipiac University poll showed would defeat Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head race...

John T Bennett, a "journalist" is an expert on all things weather related. Or not.

What a punk.

This guy RIPS Trump for POSTING AN ACCURATE PORTRAYAL of the models that showed the storm going into Alabama. John T. Bennett's retort? The models were posted by the South Florida Water Management District, NOT a "federal agency". Of course, we all KNOW that FEDERAL agencies are the hallmark of accuracy.

I am sick of these fake journalists.

His WOUNDS are FESTERING. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is grabbing an Iowa schoolmarm’s arm, making her uncomfortable. That won’t fester, though, until the next one.

What a petty bunch of middle school morons.

With nothing real to scream about and being fresh out of lies this week, the left has to crawl down to juvenile level and find petty BS like this.

Look what the establishment did to Jesus. He DID do that.

There is NOTHING anyone can do that's good enough for some folks.

You can be perfect, as Jesus was, and they still framed Him and had Him executed/crucified.
