Repeatedly, the officially non-partisan federal bureaucracy has been called to the president’s defense.

In the early days of the Trump administration, the president and his then-press secretary Sean Spicer claimed that the inauguration had the largest crowd in American history — a claim swiftly debunked by photos tweeted by the National Park Service comparing the Trump inauguration and that of President Barack Obama.

POLITICO reported the no-media rule was accompanied by bans on the phrases “Climate Change,” “Emissions Reduction” and “Paris Agreement” from all communications. Coinciding with Trump’s campaign promises, the workers were prompted to use the new preferred words: “jobs” and “infrastructure.”Trump said in 2018 that “tremendous amounts” of his promised border wall had been built. That wasn’t true: The Border Patrol was replacing old barriers with new ones.

What's next? NOAA management smashing the research on climate change produced by their own employees...with another lean-on by Trump?

Lol Clown

One by one. He is single handily destroying America.

That guy at NOAA would Kiss his own ass if Trump told him to!!

This shit needs to stop.

This is called dictatorship. Impeachment to restore democracy and integrity.

NOAA = cowards realDonaldTrump = clown

Omg enough no one cares about week old news get over it and move on you are infantile children pretending to be reporting news

That’s a funny way to spell “lies.” 🤔

Lord Save us for his doing.

When will these people grow a pair?

I'm just guessing but the way Trump behaves did he threaten NOAA with a month's worth of tweets on how horrible they are at their jobs and possibly being relocated

Just watch the CNN clip

Talk about a clear and present danger to the United States!

Donald Trump made American values, trust by overseas allies, and particularly trust in this US President completely worthless. That Donald Trump is a pathological liar is an unfortunate fact and he has long paid others to lie for him. OrderingEmployeesToLie crosses another line.

NOAA is Russian owned trash!

to the sound of worldwide guffaws.

Orwellian

Don Lemon said that Alabama was in the path, and CNN now wants everyone to forget it happened. Seems like they are using the same tactic that they employed after the Mueller hearing.

Is there no spine among the collective lot of agencies?

The reality was the NWS was wrong when projecting where this was going to go early on. They need to scale back their projections and hysteria when they report on a storm so early on. If Trump was wrong, so were they.

Go back on the timeline and the media are wrong period.

Nothing good about this. Trump lies. Lies need to have consequences. VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020

*Trump was, again, correct all along.' Fixed

NOAA weather app is now UNINSTALLED for this... I've had enough.

Were they promised a cameo appearance on Fox or a job in the white house, better yet, if ever they need one, a pardon?

'He's losing his s---': Trump's advisers are increasingly worried about his mental state following days of erratic behavior

Where are the profiles in courage in our people? I would have gladly given Trump the middle finger if he asked me to lie...

Wrong

This is completely disgusting, are all the agencies department head completley completely lacking backbones.. they are so willing to bend and deny what they say, just because the 'chosen one' doesn't like be corrected for his lies...

What a sick little toddler in chief you are.

Now he's forcing NOAA head wimp to back him up under threat of Tweet storm... So now the people flying, weathermen etc can't trust NOAA now... Not many govt agencies we can trust after Trump puppets get in there. Putin will be pissing himself in glee how Trump blew US apart

NOAA became cowards yesterday. realDonaldTrump is a disgrace. The integrity of the men & women who make it their job/duty to get the correct info out to save lives was jeopardized by the back tracking & caving to Trump and his lie. sad

Is there anyone left in that fucking city with a SPPIIIIINNNEEE? Has everyone forgotten the word NO

If this is true then we must defund noah and just ask Trump the weather. No need to have scientists and computer models. Who ever made that decision should be fired

I respectfully propose to stop putting his face on any Trump-related article. We know what he looks like. We are trying to forget.

How's that egg on your face, mainstream media? Sounds like a case of sour grapes. The press is furious that their latest 'thing' turned out to not be a 'thing' at all. In fact, nobody BUT the media cared about this non-event. The media is a sad joke.

This is a ridiculous scenario but I think we would be better served reporting on whatever story hes trying to distract us from by drawing on maps with markers.

It's what they do.

Did he give them a wedgie or a swirly? Come on, peeps. Quit giving in to the bully. It's embarrassing.

American institutions are falling like dominos

1984

NOAA received the President’s mushroom with gratitude.

Her name is Julie Roberts, Communications Director for NOAA.

Open mouth again. Someone please stick a pickle in it.

Pathetic

You can't trust the weather.

The NOAA backed Trump on Alabama. It's not the first time a federal agency has bent to his words.NOAA came to Trump's defense on his Alabama hurricane claims. It's not the first time a federal agency has bent to his words. Oh my .. It's not effecting my household but yours must be in meltdown 😅😅 It doesn't matter because the record is clear, Trump was wrong about Alabama and was corrected in real time (20 minutes) after making his ludicrous claim. What matters is how long will Nancy Pelosi deal with amount of corruption from this so called president? Just Kim Jong Un's yes men.

Why is the military being intimidated by trump, to possibly commit a crime? Who's going to fall on the sword for a corrupt races bigot demagogue King, that is what I call loyalty willing to destroy your own family lives the to give a damn about yours, hate is definitely a powerful weapon in the right hands it's not a winning hand but powerful. Jesus wept. How much longer is this going to go on? I know everyone wants to cross Ts and dot Is and ensure every scenario is accounted for, but let's GO already. ImpeachTrumpNow
