【Deborah Driggs Archives】

This may come as a shock to you,Deborah Driggs Archives but President Trump messed up.

On Sunday, Trump falsely claimed in a tweet that Hurricane Dorian would be heading towards Alabama. Meteorologists later confirmed that statement wasn't true, but Trump refuses to admit that he shared an incorrect fact so he made the decision to stick by his tweet in the days that followed.

When speaking about the storm's progress in the White House on Wednesday, Trump presented an enlarged map of the Southeastern U.S. that showed where professionals thought Dorian would be headed. If you look closely, however, you'll notice that the map appears to have an extended path drawn in black marker to encompass Alabama in its path.

When a reporter brought up the fact that the map looked as though it had been edited with a Sharpie, Trump replied, "I don't know. I don't know." The president later tweeted several times to defend his map andthe Alabama forecast that had already been shot down by professionals. The American people weren't convinced.

It seems Trump isn't aware of this, but you can't just draw something and make it real. Life isn't like that creepy nickelodeon show, ChalkZone.

Twitter users were quick to call out the president's bizarre map and soon started the hashtag #SharpieGate, which includes a bunch of hilarious tweets with similarly altered photographs of Trump.

Even the official Merriam-Webster Twitter account got in on the trolling with a not-so-subtle subtweet.

Perhaps this mess will at least result in the president getting to do some Sharpie spon-con soon. Is that legal? Ah, who cares. Guess it doesn't really matter!
