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 Dorians 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 governments 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: Im really worried about him.
Buttigieg, who a recent Quinnipiac University poll showed would defeat Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head race...

I’ve seen many a hurricane cross Florida and hit the Gulf Coast.
I still remember when a hurricane hit Mexico, crossed it and developed into a typhoon in the Pacific.
I wish these news companies would focus on real news such as the devastation in Bermuda
lol
The latest meme in his Twitter feed is hysterical
Alabama, Alabama, Alabama LOL
After all the manure these idiots have thrown at the wall, they think this is the pile that sticks? Words do not express my level of contempt for these “end-of-the-roaders”.
FAKE NEWS
If a person displays a map AFTER the predicted event then I don't think you can call such a thing a "forecast". It might be more accurate to call it a "retrospective". What morons the media are.
Yep. Trending on twitter.
WaPo definitely doesnt want the public to see how PT is the alpha male whenever world leaders have meetings. The propaganda media fawned all over the lead-from-behind Zero who always looked like someones kid brother tagging along with the grownups.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, gives a fig about this contrived issue EXCEPT Trump haters.
The Trump hating media are pathetic. Seriously.
I just cringe at their Hate Trump obsession.
It’s unnatural.
#HurricaneDorian is projected to reach southern Alabama by the early part of the week. We are watching closely and #ready to act. Are you? pic.twitter.com/iMH0DnE4QO— AL National Guard (@AlabamaNG) August 30, 2019
Who in T.F. cares?
National Weather Service got it wrong anyway, as the storm completely changed course.
They had better bring in the corpsemen to administer some emergency breathalyzers.
The media has lost their F’ing minds.
I love my POTUS! He sends them on snipe hunts and they fall for it every time.
I guess these aren’t “official” but there are what, 20 or 60 different models?
(I’m trying to figure out the difference between the 3 maps)

I recall seeing at least one (when Dorian was still south of Miami) of it going into the Gulf of Mexico.
