Can you imagine the shrieks of outrage and calls for impeachment if Obama had done this?



Republicans had a conniption because Obama wore a tan suit. C'mon. If he had put up a NOAA hurricane projection that was altered with a black marker to fit his earlier false story, you know what would have happened.



People depend on the president to tell us about potential disasters. Faking a hurricane forecast can have disastrous results. And...

18 U.S. Code § 2074. False weather reports
U.S. Code

Whoever knowingly issues or publishes any counterfeit weather forecast or warning of weather conditions falsely representing such forecast or warning to have been issued or published by the Weather Bureau, United States Signal Service, or other branch of the Government service, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 795; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(G), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

Whoever changed that map Trump showed at his press conference committed a crime. Who in the WH do you think is dumb enough to try to fool people by using a sharpie to alter the real forecast?

Right. Did you see his face when a reporter asked him about it, or listen to him stumble though attempting to explain it away?

Who said he didn't keep his states straight?

I know the forecast is it may stay offshore, but no one knew that at the time....it was a guess. Still is a guess. Some models had it crossing the state at the time.

So yeah, nitpicky......to the extreme.....you included I guess.

Um, he added a sharpie mark to a days old map, which is even more misleading at this point than the marker job done on it. Falsifying a map like that is actually against federal law. So no, this isn't being "nitpicky". The tan suit, that was nitpicky.

The right really has no business complaining about stuff like this when the outrage machine was running full tilt during the Obama years over nothingburger after nothingburger.

This particular action could have actually confused people stupid enough to believe the president. (Mostly the massively out of date information, not the sharpie bit)
