Once again, the same media types who got the 2016 election completely wrong, and failed to challenge the Obama administration for eight years, are fact-checking Trump into oblivion.

Trump suggested that Hurricane Dorian may graze Alabama, and the media has tried to make it a referendum on Trump’s character.

Trump clings to idea Alabama faced big threat from DorianPresident Donald Trump isn’t giving up on the dubious idea that Alabama faced a serious threat from Hurricane Dorian.During an Oval Office briefing Wednesday, Trump displayed a map of the National Hurricane Center forecast for last Thursday that showed Dorian could track over Florida.

The White House has even released a statement on this:
This reminds me of the time CNN did an exclusive report about how many scoops of ice cream Trump gets. These people completely failed to do their jobs under Obama. Now they’re compensating by obsessing over every stupid little thing under Trump.
I don’t blame Trump for aggressively pushing back. These people are out to get him and they prove it with every absurd outrage cycle.
