President Sharpie just tweeted two more supporting his “Alabama was going to get hit and I am right!”. One of them forecasted Alabama could’ve been slammed with brutal 10-20MPH winds. Wow, did they ever get lucky to avoid that certain destruction! ---

And I suspect all of this started because his phone autocorrected Bahamas to Alabama, he probably missed the “B” when he was typing and it changed it to Alabama. But he won’t admit that he was wrong, of course. Cofeve all over again. ---

I think he just looked at an early Cone of Uncertainty that did include Alabama, and never bothered to update his information before tweeting. And, of course, once he made his mistake he has to go all in defending his earlier statement…because to admit he was wrong is not an option. ---

There’s also the possibility this is a political calculation by Trump; he does have feral political cunning. I think Trump tweeted the other day that he cares about Alabama’s peril and The Fake News does not. Apparently, his approval ratings are near their max in Alabama: [Trump’s All About The Base, But He Likely Needs More Than That — Here’s Why](https://www.npr.org/2019/09/05/757579491/trumps-all-about-the-base-but-he-likely-needs-more-than-that-here-s-why) > [@](#): > > Many heads got scratched this week when President Trump doubled down on his erroneous claim that Alabama had been in the path of Hurricane Dorian. > > … > > The question had to be asked: Wouldn’t it be enough to be worried about Florida, Georgia and the rest of the Southeastern coast without dragging in Alabama — a state outside the current danger zone? > > Perhaps. But in seeking to understand the moment it was tempting to observe that Alabama is arguably the cornerstone of the president’s base of support in seeking a second term. > > While 17 states have consistently shown the president at 50% job approval or better, according to Gallup, Alabama is one of just three states where Trump’s approval has often topped 60% since Inauguration Day. According to the Morning Consult tracking poll, Trump’s approval is 18 points positive in West Virginia and 21 in Wyoming. In Alabama, it is 26, and Alabama has more votes in the Electoral College than those two other states combined. Of course, the simplest explanation may just be Trump’s a narcissistic imbecile who can’t ever admit he’s wrong. ---
