Trump said it was going to affect Alabama – it isn’t.
Trump accuses the media of giving out a phony report when they give correct information.
Trump continues to lie about it – this is dangerous. People’s lives are affected by the hurricane. Sad!
A freaking Sharpie? https://t.co/rNVDUP96Lk

I wrote about the Trump Sharpie-hurricane map and, more broadly, how it reinforces Trump's refusal to concede to reality. https://t.co/YsTVhgKdiA

A source familiar with the matter says DHS did not provide the altered map Trump showed in the Oval.

“The map was not brought by DHS for this briefing,” the source said. https://t.co/oKeXF89A61
As a hurricane moves along the eastern United States and residents are told to heed all warnings from government officials, the President appears to have publicly displayed an altered map of the hurricane's trajectory with portions of Alabama circled with a Sharpie pic.twitter.com/0UJmJnDKYA

President Trump says he doesn’t know about the hurricane map being altered by a Sharpie. He also insisted there are “other, better maps” that show Alabama was in the area that could be affected by Hurricane Dorian, though the weather service said that’s not true.

Here's why the Alabama/Dorian story matters, especially with Trump showing off a distorted map today: The president spread false info during an emergency situation three times in one day. Then insisted he was right when he was corrected. https://t.co/1XOYGkMhMh

Reporter just asked Trump about the map: "It looked like someone took a Sharpie…."

Trump: "I don't know. I don't know." (But Potus insists several times that Alabama was in the Dorian's path despite evidence to contrary.) https://t.co/2S92ndpnB1
The President held up a fake and doctored hurricane forecast map from the National Hurricane Center today to try and substantiate his claim that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama.

That's the facts: https://t.co/icyHuq3TfX
As #Dorian approached, @realdonaldtrump spread misinformation about Alabama. Within minutes @NWSBirmingham corrected Trump without mentioning him by name. https://t.co/x0LjbdRmu3 pic.twitter.com/5YgFFdnq0c

Perhaps not a great idea for the White House to be showing the country fake hurricane tracking maps while Dorian remains an active storm. https://t.co/TmCbJ8j4k4

Trump intended to tweet at Jonathan Karl, the chief White House correspondent for ABC News. He instead tagged Johnathan Carl, a Kentucky pastor and veteran. https://t.co/rfe02BI6gs
