Trump caught in boldface sharpie lie. Called out by dailymail in headline article

Donald Trump denies using a SHARPIE to alter official map to show Hurricane Dorian hitting Alabama then tweets an even OLDER forecast to 'prove' it could have (and if you're wondering who would draw on a chart, check his desk)

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7428515/Trump-denies-using-sharpie-alter-map-Hurricane-Dorian-hitting-Alabama.html

President Trump says he did not use a sharpie to alter a National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration map to put Alabama in Hurricane Dorian's path
But there was one sitting on the Resolute Desk and the White House
Map the president held up earlier in the day had been altered to include Alabama

Trump presented the map at a hurricane briefing on Wednesday morning, and the White House did not disclose that it had been altered
President says it wasn't him and he doesn't know who made the change: 'I don't know. I don't know, I don't know,' he told a reporter on Wednesday afternoon


So who was it? Scroll down for a list of who was in the Oval Office at the time
Aside from his sharpie, Trump had two pictures of him being briefed on Hurricane Dorian on his desk, and a picture of damage in the Bahamas



On his desk at the briefing: A personalized sharpie with his signature in gold was on the Resolute Desk when Trump invited reporters to his briefing

Did he think repeating it 3 times would summon it into being, like Bloody Mary?

Do you think he has any idea where Alabama is?

I don’t think he can even draw that circle.

The idea is so stupid beavis or butthead must have came up with it.
