When a news outlet pointed out the President was wrong, he called the report"phony" and insisted that he was right. But his own National Weather Service had said he was wrong.The story starts on Sunday morning, at 10:51 a.m. ET, when Trump tweeted out a warning about the severity of Hurricane Dorian."In addition to Florida -- South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit harder than anticipated," the President wrote.
"Trump was generally correct about Georgia and the Carolinas feeling the effects of the hurricane, along with Florida. But at the time there was no evidence that Alabama would"get a piece of it," as the President claimed.Trump made the false claim again an hour later, at a FEMA briefing event that began at 12:31 p.m. He said Dorian"may get a little piece of a great place: It's called Alabama.
