Timeline: Trump’s false claim that Hurricane Dorian could hit Alabama
What started out as a clear misunderstanding on President Donald Trump’s part has morphed into him attacking the media for reporting on his false claim. In the process of using his Twitter account to retweet official Hurricane Dorian forecasts from the National Hurricane Center, Trump incorrectly stated on Sunday that the storm could hit Alabama.
Despite being corrected within 20 minutes by the National Weather Service, Trump went on to lash out repeatedly against journalists who reported on his false claim, defending himself via outdated maps, video manipulation, and even with a six-day-old map that he had been altered with a Sharpie marker.
Here’s how Trump’s confusion over Alabama and Hurricane Dorian’s trajectory originated, and a timeline of what has happened since, as he continues to double down on his misstatement and attack the news media.
