No...….they asked about the map.

They did not originally ask about the conflict in info when this started.

They still haven't asked that and I can guarantee they aren't ever going to ask that.

Furthermore, he has repeatedly expressed amazement the category 5 hurricanes even exist in the first place, even though he's seen FOUR of them during his own presidency. At least he hasn't tossed any paper towels at anyone this time, or blamed Bahamians for their misfortunes.

The hurricane force spin you've put into moving the goal posts is very, very sad.

Also, Trump is now hawking knock-off Sharpies to profit off of his own gaslighting:

You should stop with all the drama already. The press is trying to do no such thing, especially over something like this. You and only been saying this, and that's not the case here. You are putting everything you have into defending this man, you should be exhausted by now, defending someone with a serious credibility issue. At some point it begins to make you look bad.

It totally knocks your flimsy arguments that try to minimize Trump's poor handling of the situation (which are based on blaming the press for reporting the incident) to the ground.

You're essentially left with these defenses to excuse his behavior and none of them are valid:

A) Trump may make mistakes, but you LOVE the fact that he never relents or acknowledges his errors, because you like a strong leader who won't back down.

B) Trump lies, but so does everyone else, and at least you know he's lying constantly because it's so obvious

C) Trump is the only person who is able to "own the libs" regularly, and that's all that matters to you

They're loyal foot soldiers in The Stable Genius's war on reality. And he wouldn't **** on any of them if they were on fire.

Maybe someone already mentioned it, but Trump is cashing in on his stupidity. He is selling official "Donald Trump Fine Point Markers" for $15 with proceeds to his campaign.

The point being discussed was why we don't know how it happened that Trump did not have or report the most up to date info when he spoke.

We can speculate. But we don't know and probably wont because the press per usual has failed to do their job. They haven't even asked that simple question.

Either the entire American press is stupid or most of them are Liberals(which we all know is true) and they have an agenda.

Youre right......its not just over this. They've been on this path since election night.

Certainly not a first for him. And the lemmings will gladly give him their hard-earned money. He's counting on nothing less.

Please explain how it's the press' fault that Trump golfed all weekend and relied on outdated forecast models to tweet out inaccurate information, and then when the NHC immediately corrected said misinformation, he doubled down by using a sharpie to retroactively create "proof" for his debunked claim? HOW??

They should just let it go that he lied/gaslighted? You're asking the press to ignore a glaring example of the POTUS acting completely unpresidential and completely petty, because....the press is bad?

DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.
