I’m still stuck on Sharpie-gate. Sorry. But, so is Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Sept. 1, as Hurricane Dorian approached, Trump tweeted:

“In addition to Florida — South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated.”

He repeated the erroneous assertion during a FEMA briefing that day, saying: “And, I will say, the states — and it may get a little piece of a great place: It’s called Alabama. And Alabama could even be in for at least some very strong winds and something more than that, it could be.”

The problem: Alabama as a target had been eliminated days earlier as scientists refined their models and projections with more up-to-date information.

The president had either made an honest mistake (that happens) or he hadn’t kept track of more current briefings (that shouldn’t happen) or both. But, whatever the case, it was easy to fix by simply admitting the error.
