Trump Personally Altered Map to Promote False Hurricane Threat to Alabama
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Bahamians reel from the historic devastation of Hurricane Dorian, The
Washington Post reported that President Trump personally used a black
magic marker to alter a map showing the storm's projected path, in an
effort to support his false claim last weekend that Alabama might be hit
by the hurricane. In fact, the National Hurricane Center never included
Alabama in any of the forecast cones for Dorian. On Thursday, Trump
spent a fourth straight day defending his false statements, tweeting, "I
accept the Fake News apologies."
