Does this surprise anyone? President Dumbfuck got so upset over being corrected on the Alabama/Dorian bullshit that he threatened NOAA officials to get fired over it.

The Secretary of Commerce threatened to fire top employees at NOAA on Friday after the agency’s Birmingham office contradicted President Trump’s claim that Hurricane Dorian might hit Alabama, according to three people familiar with the discussion.
That threat led to an unusual, unsigned statement later that Friday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration disavowing the office’s own position that Alabama was not at risk. The reversal caused widespread anger within the agency and drew criticism from the scientific community that NOAA, a division of the Commerce Department, had been bent to political purposes.

A guy who has thin skin because everyone in the media is stupidly attacking him days later for repeating what the actual NOAA forecast was less than 12 hours previously (and what the media themselves were saying when they weren't incorrectly labeling Alabama as Mississippi...) .Gwad said:

By Friday it had already shifted and was projecting to run up the Florida East Coast. Sunday Sept 1 Trump tweets including Alabama as one of the states likely to be hit much harder then expected. At 8 AM EST on Sunday morning BEFORE his tweet this was the forecast...
