Donny Publicly Proclaims His Own Stupidity

[KeithD]

What I'm seeing is that it was an unauthored statement attributed to an anonymous official, so for all we know, Donny or one of his minions could have written it under a NOAA masthead.

It doesn't require much brain power. We all know it's within Trump's method of lying.

Is that to be considered an insult?

for you trumplicans, lest you forget... this is your president

and you know what? i bet the trumplicans will think it's side-splittingly funny and nothing wrong at all with the president of what they call 'the greatest country' in the world mocking the disabled. after all, it's what goes on inside their own heads... donny-boy just validates it all as normal behaviour

edit: it's interesting, though, watching the faces of those people behind him. not too impressed... too gutless to speak out about it, but not impressed.

Eh, they settled on their plausible deniability for that one quite a while ago. As I understand it, it's basically that Trump wasn't making fun of the disabled reporter he was referring to; rather he uses that body language to make fun of everyone. So he wasn't singling the one guy out, he just uses PWD-bashing to ridicule anyone he doesn't like.


...Aaaaaand soon we'll be hearing all about how he still won, and how that somehow proves he's not bigoted.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — The head of the National Weather Service issued a strong public defense Monday of forecasters who contradicted President Donald Trump's claim that Hurricane Dorian posed a threat to Alabama as it approached the United States.

Director Louis Uccellini said forecasters in Birmingham did the right thing Sept. 1 when they tried to combat public panic and rumors that Dorian posed a threat to Alabama. It was only later that they found out the source of the mistaken information, he said.

Speaking at a meeting of the National Weather Association, Uccellini said Birmingham forecasters "did what any office would do to protect the public."

"They did that with one thing in mind: public safety," said Uccellini, who prompted a standing ovation from hundreds of forecasters by asking members of the Birmingham weather staff to stand.
