'Some administrator, or someone at the top of NOAA, threw the National Weather Service under the bus,' a hurricane researcher at the University of Miami said.

If he lies about this what else is he lying about jobnumbers maybe?

Fake News! I saw lips moving!

HallRTR1973 Negative....see Alabama on there? Smh

Hey NOAA, If you want your operating budget you will publicly say I was right about Alabama!

How, you utter tool of an organization? The proof is RIGHT THERE in its own hurricane advisories, just like the NOAA statement says.

A shameful day, if true.

It’s true. It had potential to to cross Florida. What’s wrong with you people?

NOAA just made themselves look like stooges. That's aside the fact that they can't predict the weather anyways.

Why do people continue to serve this fool? Don’t they know everything trump touches dies....eventually. ETTD

Everything Trump touches dies.

😔 sad!

This is ridiculous.... Who knows what type of pressures are being applied... For stupid weather reports? Oh yeah Trumps butt was in hotvwater for the sharpie situation... Still doesnt chage the fact that a SHARPIE was used on the map he showed....

Leave it to this clown to politicize the weather

Was CNN in on it as well?

imcosta1 People have to lie to keep their jobs and their reputations. Trump will slay them and ruin their lives if they don’t agree with him. A true dictator.

fuckingashwole trump

Does this really matter?

Someone needs to be accountable! Who did it?

The hate mongering SOBs who laughed at President Trump threw themselves under the bus. They are too stupid and too arrogant to ever understand that WE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.

So are they expecting people to believe NOAA weather reports from now on? sharpiegate

It was always headed down this track to 1984 ...

We all know white house is behind it Start there Hope they were offered pardon it is illegal to mess with weather reports What Trump did was illegal This is worse This erodes trust Next time do we believe NOAA or are they playing politics? Is forecast truth or what Pres wants

Someone needs to resign over this. Preferably realDonaldTrump but I mean the fool at NOAA. lol

Quit with this. Help the Bahamas!

This is sad news indeed. Orwellian in nature.

Scary. They got to NOAA

Apologize to realDonaldTrump Hmm do then was cnn lying too

At least now we can ignore any weather related advice from NOAA .

Trump's rath strikes again. He needs to be out of office. A man who can't admit his error is only half a person. His weakness shows not his self perceived strength.

NOAA said, 'Pass the koolaid please.'

Wonder who threatened that poor person to make such a statement.

TheMominatrixx Some ,like Pence,seem to become very subservient after partaking of the old orange ass liqueur. It seems to have hallucinogenic properties in it, always adding size,numbers and phony accomplishments.Because the truth would send them back to grade school.

Could SecretaryRoss be the *some* administrator? 'NOAA is an agency that enriches life through science.' Except when science is in conflict with TrumpSharpieMap. really sad.

LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

WTF

This now has a North Korea feeling—keeping the illustrious leader content

We have clearly entered perhaps the most dangerous period so far. No, I am not referring to Dorian.

Trump even altered their statement.

Unconfirmed NOAA head?

Before the election we joked about our country becoming the Hunger Games... we never could have imagined that would involve NOAA.

Everything Trump Touches Dies!! DonaldDunce DonaldDunce DonaldDunce DonaldDunce

That NOAA memo was so written by the White House... We all know where this is going, truth will come out, some will scream wrongdoing, others will say fake news, Trump will deny it, GOP will turn it's head and all will be forgotten... Then off to a new scandal... sharpiegate

PaulaChertok NOAA should go to hell.

The American people will learn that MOST of what comes out of this corrupt administration will be lies. He must be stopped.

Hahahaha frigging wimps!!! Or maybe the orange genius really got to them!

“Heil to the great leader”....you cowards and spineless people

We know we can't believe djt, but it will be a sad day if we have to remove the National Weather Service or NOAA from our 'trusted' list.

Probably something to do with it ⬇️

'Could impact Alabama' (a 5-10% probability) ISN'T the same thing as saying 'Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated.' NOAA's statement DOESN'T defend Trump's claims and now Trump is lying about his original tweet:

Someone at NOAA is bucking for a promotion.

We must march and apprehend this monster ourselves

Stop protecting an incompetent potus

NOAA is a propaganda outlet at this point

Let. It. Go. Psychotic at this point.

Someone sold out

Grown men who used to have morals all fallen down to his douche bag level...Sad sad sad

The Louder the Monkey, the Smaller Its Balls, Study Finds

The statement doesn't back Trump's asinine wrong statement made on Sunday that, in a change from previous forecasts, Alabama was just then (Sunday) being forecast as being hit worse than thought (pre-Sunday). Even the cowards in thrall to the liar have some standards.

NOAA is probably worried their funding would get mysteriously held up if ManBabyTrump didn’t get his way.

Or NOAA saw CNN's video saying Alabama was in the path. Do you get out much? You ever heard of the internet?

We have truly entered the Idiocracy dimension...

Here is the image from NOAA’s website. The chart pictured with Trump doesn’t show as much detail. They are both from advisory 21. One shows the outer edges of the storm and one only shows the the severest part of the storm. There is no hidden “conspiracy.”

Breaking: Trump has tasked Barr on opening an investigation into NOAA ties to Hillary's emails.

WTF IS WRONG WITH DerangedDonald WTF IS WRONG WITH GOP ENABLING THIS ATROCITY. WTF IS WRONG WITH US NOT IMPEACHING HIM?

So if we can’t trust reports from NOAA, trumpster government agency, then we can’t trust any job or economy numbers from any of his other agencies.

Can the American public see the signature on that document? Is it unsigned? Was it authorized by a 'supervisor', backed by political pressure, not by scientific fact? The World could wait If PO**S could focus on the misery inflicted by this storm.

DISTRUMPGUSTING

More importantly. The chap that got the poster did not drop his belongings before picking it up.

Hey, JulieKayRoberts , aren't you Communications Director for NOAA? Stop being political. Your job is to protect the American people NOT Trump. How much are we paying you to undermine NWS credibility? You're NOT helping.

Negative Public Reporting. NPR. I wish I could have more characters to explain just how dumb the editor is. I’d love to be on air as well.

We have got to impeach this dude !AHORA!

Most normal people would just say 'I was wrong' and move on. Most megalomaniacs would rather change the facts to not be wrong.

Draft probably written in Sharpie....unattributed you know.

Disgraceful

These are also the people who give us Santa Claus updates on Christmas Eve

Donald Trumpet

Newsmax TV showed CNN clip whereby they mentioned AL too! I cant believe people are still watching fake news after two years of being lied to regarding Russia collusion/delusion witch hunt.

There’s one thing Trump can’t change, and that’s his days left in power.

Early models did show Alabama being affected by the storm. Why can't you admit it when you are wrong. NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS EITHER WAY! You tried to embarrass the guy and instead embarrassed yourselves, get over it.

Unless we’re actually going to be investigating this as a crime, digging deeper into this is just distracting from more important things.

because no one backs Trump...Biased msm

Trump was right, the hurricane was going to hit Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, California and Hawaii!! then turn around and hit Alaska. Come on give the man some credit!

If the Pentagon won’t stand up for the constitution and country, dont expect a Trump appointee to do anything.

NOAA is a government run org. I follow the scientist who work their. Since Trump ordered the removal of science from the science websites, you can’t depend on the official .gov sites

I wonder if this even came from NOOA? Maybe Trump got someone to just write it for him.

akriss253 I am thinking Wilbur Ross head of the Commerce Department that overseas NOAA.

A Trump appointee perhaps! 😤

Administrator or someone at the top of NOAA too SHAME to sign his name. A SHAM!!! I’m thinking someone from the WH composed the letter. ShameOnNOAA NOAAisVile NWSBirmingham we hear you

It’s time for the news media to move on. Trump won. sharpiegate

'Where's Wilbur'...this has Ross's DNA all over it.

It’s not signed. Can’t believe this is happening

That’s an NOAA chart you genius ass reporters. The head line should be National Weather Service tries to throw the CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE UNITED STATES aka their boss under the bus but fails.

I think yes there may be a bad or weak human in a position or two but that most of NOAA and NWS are decent hardworking folks that are mortified by this shit

billprady NOAA is now a joke.

Shame on them

NOAA is now compromised too! Add them to the Trump loyalist’s list. 😞😳😞😡 If you live in the US and still trust this administration, you should move to Russia where you will feel at home.

how pathetic so we can't even trust our lives to NOAA how do we know they wont lie about potential storms and endanger lives?

You can track weather predictions vs tweets day by day. It's a matter of historical record. When moscowtrump was tweeting that Alabama was going to get hit, there was no chance of it being hit. Litterally, the evidence is infront of our eyes. Why lie?

The emperor has no clothes on.

Trumkpers are a cult.

Thank you. How is this level of irresponsibility even possible, nevermind acceptable?

Oh no, people will not be able to believe meteorologists ! THE HOOOROR !

It's like a graveyard under Trump's bus

Why is anyone afraid of this douchebag? Meteorology is science, and dumbass does not believe in science. Come on NOAA, grow a set

THIS IS DANGEROUS!! NOAA NOAAComms WTF IS THE MATTER WITH YOU EVERYBODY KNOWS HE WAS LYING!! THIS IS THE UNITED STATES, NOT FUCKING RUSSIA!! IF WE CAN'T COUNT ON YOU, WHO THE HELL CAN WE COUNT ON?

They dove under it during the 2016 hurricane season. WhatsInAName

When our national agencies fear Trump’s wrath, they lie too. Pretty sad days in the not so good USA!

'the unsigned statement' You feckless coward!

Dammit.

The scandal of the Age of Trump isn't the unmasking of the Deep State but of the Shallow State: bureaucrats entrusted with the operation of government who are too ethically supine to adhere to truth and duty if it might displease dear leader.

I feel like we are truly doomed as a country.

He probably said something about cuts to NOAA would be a shame...

Spineless saps

I'm shocked, shocked, that some government employee would lie for Trump in order to avoid being fired...

FakeNews Trump2020

Mr. Trump has NO shame.

Lol. God forbid admit Trump was right about something. And to think NPR is supposed to be unbiased. Lol

The answer is crystal clear: Trump Taps AccuWeather CEO To Head NOAA, Breaking With Precedent Of Nominating Scientists | Ocean Leadership

'NOAA backed Orange Man, but Orange Man bad. So we asked sources that don't back Orange Man because we didn't do our diligence and turns out someone of repute agrees with Orange Man.'

Heads have to roll at NOAA

Trump during all this

NPR Choice pageIt is insane. And a very true fact that most parents can not afford to send their kids to college. It is a real struggle, and the price of state school tuition is the same as it would have cost to go to Harvard 25 years ago. Wrong by an order of magnitude. This is a societal burden.... Curious why do they have more debt when civil rights quotas give them more opportunities in financial aid? Are there parents more prosperous today and they do not qualify anymore?
