Even the attempts to claim he wasn't lying are lies themselves. [View all]

Yesterday, September 4th, in an attempt to justify his bogus hurricane warning to Alabama on Sunday, September 1st, the Madman posted this map of Hurricane Dorian computer models:

The problem was, that map was issued four days before even that on August 28th; the models on Sunday were all in agreement on a track along the coast.

But what is even worse is that even the August 28th map that he posted yesterday doesn't show any models projecting an Alabama impact. The model projections on that map are the thicker colored lines with symbols attached to them, and none are heading towards Alabama. The closest any of the models get is the British (UKM) model, which still firmly heads through Tallahassee and towards central Georgia and the Valdosta area. That is about 100 miles from any single spot in Alabama, and if the center of the storm were in that location, hurricane conditions would still not be anywhere close to Alabama.

The only thing that touches Alabama are a few of the thinner lines, which are single variable runs from the models, which get factored into the model track but are not the projected track itself.

Bottom line is that there is no situation where Trump's claim that Alabama was going to get a major impact from the storm could possibly be correct, period.
