“No one else writes like that on a map with a black Sharpie,”-- who the fuck talks like that. And who was it or is it another case of them consulting their janitorial staff and calling them sources like the every-day-another-fake-Russia-story?

There was a story(ad) that he has a custom Sharpie, gold though. Good brand exposure, this controversy.

Yikes. You still don't understand basic science.

Climatologists and meteorologists are two types of atmospheric scientists who study weather patterns and their effects on humans and the environment. A key difference relates to time horizons. Meteorologists focus more on short-term weather conditions while climatologists are more interested in long-term climate conditions.

A key difference between meteorologists and climatologists lies in the time perspectives they bring to the study of weather and climate. Meteorologists produce forecasts that are intended to predict weather conditions over the short term, often a horizon no longer than 7 to 10 days. Climatologists, meanwhile, employ a long-term perspective, developing and analyzing models that are designed to predict changes in weather patterns in the months and years to come. A meteorologist will predict whether it will rain in the next day or two, but a climatologist will predict whether climate patterns will result in more rainfall on average in the years to come.

I find more of an issue with someone who cares so much about the intricacies of that situatio. Someone who thinks they've Sherlock Holme's that Trump is a liar and purposely lied about a storm for what? And then HE drew a path for what? Wouldn't make much sense.

yeah its clearly an irrational thing to do. that doesnt mean it didnt happen.

dont you think its a little bit concerning that to avoid correcting himself he went to the trouble of having someone doctor a map to match what he said? he would literally rather change the facts to match what he said than admit he said something incorrect. yes the whole thing is asinine but thats some seriously mentally ill behavior, and i find it difficult to take seriously anyone that cant just admit that its weird at the very least.

Why President Trump’s Sharpied weather map was likely a crime — and should be.

In 1903, a top Weather Bureau official warned that false weather forecasts would cause both “public injury and discredit to the Weather Bureau,” which could lead Americans to ignore crucially important — even lifesaving — information. These dangers compelled Congress to pass the law making counterfeit forecasts illegal.

The new law made it possible for the Weather Bureau to target opportunists and hucksters. It also gave officials the tools to try to suppress weather-related advertising in the early days of modern consumer culture. Companies that sold weather-related products ran afoul of government weather officials when they modified official storm warnings in their advertisements or just invented forecasts to help them market their products.

I'm not sure what's more pathetic: you wrote that, you read that, wapo wrote that, or wapo clowns thought that. Pretty pathetic all around.

Laws shouldn't apply to my president and my political party.

You don't even know anything about law. You copy and paste whatever dumb shit the lefty media dumps into your empty head.
