The guy is a complete buffoon and rather than swallow a bit of pride and say "I was mistaken" he will double down on stupidity and still insist he is right. A personality disorder like that is a dangerous man to have in the position he holds, but his lemmings soak it up and double down on stupid with him.
I agree about the start of this, if he was wrong or mistaken, why cant he just say so. Its very weird how often he just cant admit he did something wrong...
It's just not in his dna and why he is a dangerous person. He reneges on deals, he lies constantly, he personally attacks anyone who disagrees with him and to top it off, the "Art of the Deal" master doesn't know how to negotiate without threatening. How anyone can think this clown is good for our country is beyond me. I am 65 years old and have never been this bothered by a sitting president as I normally avoid politics, but in this case, this is for my kids and grandkids and future generations.
johnny doesn't care that the sitting president is a perpetual liar, personally attacks anyone that disagrees with him, and can't make a deal without threatening.
Sometimes this place really pisses me off. WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT TRUMP SAYS?!?! People are dead. The Bahamas are virtually gone. There is still danger up the east coast. Start a fucking separate thread for your petty political bullshit
Citizens will listen to our government on situations like this. If they feel like they cant trust the government because of informational inaccuracy from our president, theyre more likely to make decisions that risk their lives. That matters.
The problem is that he undercut the procedure for how the government has and needs to handle these things. 1.) Predictions arent even made 7 days out, and the graph he wa sholding wa s7 days out from Alabama. 2.) The angle the storm was traveling based on the prediction it wouldve been nearly impossible to have had major impacts on Alabama due to weakening from land. 3.) He tried to reference ensemble models to state that there was a very real possibility to Alabama. Ensemble models are used to test many different combinations of atmospheric steering layers and conditions, and the ones that are far outside of the ensemble envelop are extreme outliers and rarely (if ever) come to fruition. 4.) The steering layers were much more complicated than that, but from early on it was pretty obvious that the ridge of high pressure blocking it from heading north wouldnt remain strong enough to keep it heading west to Alabama. There was also a ULL blocking it from heading westward, that ULL became Tropical Storm Fernand. It wouldve been beyond shocking for the hurricane to make it all the way to Alabama, and that was reflected by the model ensembles he referenced to try to support his bullshit. He needs to stop trying to play meteorologist. I cringe every time I hear him talk about these things. Hes clueless.
If you don't give a shit, then ignore it. Nobody is forcing you to read it. This is the OT section where much is political.
