President Trump showed a doctored hurricane chart. Was it to cover up for ‘Alabama’ Twitter flub? (Paywall)

Trump had erroneously stated that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama.

Altering official government weather forecasts isn’t just a cause for concern — it’s illegal. Per 18 U.S. Code 2074, which addresses false weather reports, “Whoever knowingly issues or publishes any counterfeit weather forecast or warning of weather conditions falsely representing such forecast or warning to have been issued or published by the Weather Bureau, United States Signal Service, or other branch of the Government service, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both.”

DELUSION, DC (August 4)

If I say Alabama's on a Dorian's path,
it has to be true — you do the math.
I am PRESIDENT or the UNTIDY STATES.
(In addition to which, I'm really great.)
If anyone fakes a U.S. weather map. . .
they go to jail for that kind of crap.
BUTT I AM TRUMP, DONALD:
ALL STAND IN AWE!
What I say or do, THAT IS the law.
