Part of a CNN story about a map displayed by the president on which a sharpie marker has extended the cone showing where the story might hit....the extended cone included Alabama (despite National Weather Service assurances that Alabama was NOT going to feel any impact from the storm:
"But remember that Trump's Twitter feed is the best window into what he really thinks and feels. And he is choosing to focus on Alabama -- three times on Thursday morning! -- because he is absolutely fixated on being right. Being right takes precedence over literally everything else, including keeping the focus (his, the media's and the country's) on the Americans currently being threatened by a natural disaster.This is all in keeping with the broader reality of how Trump views the presidency: Devoid of its longtime role as a leader (moral and otherwise) in the country and to the world. The ramifications of that absence are only being felt now. But they will linger well beyond Trump's presidency."
