My question is what is he actually trying to do here? Yes, it's 98% likely that this is Trump being his usual, pathetic, petty self refusing to admit how wrong he was, and carelessly committing a felony in the process just to defend his dumbass self, but it really is the dumbest of hills to die on.
Being that these storms and their landfall/effects can generate federal disaster spending to effected areas...he seems really fucking desperate to create evidence that Alabama will be effected by Dorian. Why is that? Let's ignore his pettiness. Let's instead wonder what the fuck kind of criminally deplorable Trump ally in Alabama has been promised Federal disaster funds by the Tangerine Venereal Disease.
It's always, always, always distraction, so what other kind of tax payer-funded criminal theft is this fuckstain actually trying to get away with?
