Last September, President Donald Trump tweeted that Alabama, along with the Carolinas and Georgia, was “most likely to be hit (much) harder than anticipated" by Hurricane Dorian. In both instances, as the DKE would predict (for more, see here), the President defended his initial position vehemently, believing it to be true and altering maps or stretching facts to get his statements to be considered as true.
