Trump reportedly took 'Sharpie-gate' Alabama hurricane map after leaving office

A controversial map former President Donald Trump used to show Alabama in the path of a 2019 hurricane was one item among 15 boxes of documents he gave to the National Archives last month, according to The New York Times.

The map was handed over along with documents, letters and gifts Trump reportedly took with him when leaving office, though officials say he was legally required to leave them in the federal government’s custody.

The map was part of a controversy dubbed “Sharpie-gate” involving Trump and whether Alabama was actually threatened by the hurricane.

As Dorian headed for the southeastern U.S. in early September 2019, Trump tweeted that Alabama was “most likely to be hit (much) harder than anticipated.”

1. I think he took it because he was embarassed

...and it was probably too big to eat.

2. I was thinking the opposite...

He REALLY believed that was "proof" that he was right and NOAA was wrong. Regardless of the sheer stupidity, that clown's ego is so fragile that he needs 24/7/365 soothing and that image was probably going to be to Trump what the Mona Lisa was for Napoleon - a painting over the bed.

10. He probably planned to frame it,

and hang it next to the fake Time covers.

3. Maybe he wanted to sell it on eBay.

5. I'd say that confirms the suspicion that Donny personally drew on that map.

He wanted mementoes of all his “greatest hits”.

6. Isn't that cute!

Little Donny saves his artwork.

7. Did they find it on his refrigerator?

Did he get a lollipop from Melania and a pretty gold star?

8. Thought he burned everything in "burn bags." Gotta admit, Sharpie Gate was a bunch of BS, although

a funny example of just how stupid trump is.

9. And have they

looked into how much looting of valuables was done by staff.

11. No sense trying to divine the actions of a madman.

TFG is fucking nuts and his disease process is progressing every day. No sense trying to understand his actions, he’s bughouse nutty.
