You don't think there is anything wrong with saying that Alabama will most likely be hit much harder than anticipated by one of the largest hurricanes ever, when only a corner of Alabama had a ~10% chance of seeing only Tropical storm level winds?

Theres nothing about that which you consider misleading at all?

Also, it isn't "heresay" when it is public information that was posted on the President's twitter. That is called common knowledge and generally, we expect human beings in this day and age to be able to perform at least basic google searches when having conversations...

>Sure, Trump was wrong but you can't expect to always be right when it comes to weather forecasts. Potential to be wrong about where a hurricane is heading or hitting is very much a possibility.

>Sure I consider it misleading but we have the benefit of hindsight. Trump didn't have that luxury at the time.

All of the information I have been pointing to was using the information available at the time Trump made his comments. Again, Trump was wrong and people knew he was wrong as soon as he made his comments, but he repeatedly doubled (and tripled (and quadrupled)) down on his wrong-ness.

Trump misrepresented the data at the time. He should own up to that mistake and people should stop relentlessly defending him when he was so nakedly wrong.
