Mr Never Wrong: Storm Spat Underscores Trump's Mindset

Associated Press

   NEW YORK - President Donald Trump doesn't make mistakes. At least
   according to him.

   Trump's relentless justifications of his erroneous warnings that
   Hurricane Dorian was threatening Alabama on Sunday, which created days
   of ridicule and skepticism, are just the latest example of the
   president's lifelong reluctance to admit an error, no matter how
   innocuous.

   His fervent, days-long pushback has displayed not only his prolonged
   focus on a personal spat but his willingness, notably again late
   Thursday, to deploy government staff and resources to justify an
   inaccurate claim. Presidential proclamations can move markets, rattle
   world capitals and, in this case, unnecessarily alarm the residents of
   a state. Trump's relationship with the truth and accountability
   threatened to, yet again, diminish the weight of any president's words.
