... Thursday, Trump said that Puerto Rico had been hit with a Category 5 hurricane. "It got hit as a five — Category 5 storm — which just literally never happens" ... Hurricane Maria was actually a strong Category 4 when it made landfall on Puerto Rico ...
... Friday .. Trump said Alabama had sheltered 17 million victims of recent hurricanes ... this number "seemed high given that the state has fewer than 5 million residents and that nearby Florida has 20.6 million residents" ...
... Monday .. Trump twice misstated Strange's opponent's name as "Ray" ...
... his response to the utter devastation in Puerto Rico could be among the most important moments in his presidency, yet he didn't even know how strong the storm was that hit the island. With Florida and Texas dealing with their own hurricane recoveries, Trump seemed to invent a stat about Alabama's role in that process ... And despite feeling the Alabama race is important enough to warrant a presidential visit, Trump somehow doesn't know the other candidate's name ...
