Political pressure from the White House and a series of “crazy in the middle of the night” texts, emails and phone calls caused top federal weather officials to wrongly admonish a weather office for a tweet that contradicted President Donald Trump about Hurricane Dorian in 2019, an inspector general report found.
“Instead of focusing on NOAA’s successful hurricane forecast, the Department unnecessarily rebuked NWS forecasters for issuing a public safety message about Hurricane Dorian in response to public inquiries–that is, for doing their jobs,” the report concluded. The tweet came out 10 minutes after Trump had tweeted that Alabama was among states that “will most likely be hit harder than anticipated.” Forecasters in Alabama said they didn’t know about the president’s tweet, which was based on outdated information, and that they were instead responding to calls from a worried public.
However, NOAA acting chief Neil Jacobs told the inspector general’s office that the day of the president’s tweet he was baffled by Trump’s reference to Alabama: “hat was the first time when I was wondering why are we still talking about Alabama, you know?”
The guy never admit a mistake no matter how small or large. It’s why he learns anything.
Oh how I long for simpler days when the president only lied about storms that affected the lives of millions.
spann is never to be doubted. He’s ours. Always.
