With one of the most powerful and deadly hurricanes on record threatening our country, it would be nice to have a President who takes the matter seriously, wouldn't it?
However, our president is Donald Trump, and he seemingly can't take anything seriously... Even if he tries.
On Sunday, President Trump stated in one of his infamous tweets that Alabama was among the several states predicted to be affected by Hurricane Dorian's rampage across the country. Except... It isn't.
And, rather than admitting to his mistake, Trump went on to display a hurricane map that had been obviously altered to falsely show the storm passing over Alabama. Yes, while our country waits for a battering from perhaps the most dangerous storm of all time, our President is out there making fake maps.
Keep reading to see the ridiculous edit, which has left people all over the world in complete disbelief.
Â
Hurricane Dorian has become one of the world's most formidable storms.
The storm was initially labelled as a Category 5 hurricane.
Though it was downgraded to a Category 3 storm...
The hurricane made its initial landfall on September 1st...
And the death toll is only expected to rise.
Dorian is now en route to our East Coast.
South Carolina and Georgia are already feeling Dorian's effects.
Terrifying footage has been emerging from the area.

... And Alabama, apparently.
In true Trump fashion, our President decided to pipe up and state that Alabama is at risk of being affected by the storm, too.But is Alabama actually at risk?
It looks like our President has a bit of revision to do.
@realDonaldTrump Alabama? Have you ever looked at a map of the US before? https://t.co/b9cXP921gb— Puff Dragon (@Puff Dragon)1567359207.0
People were quick to put right the President's error.

But, Donald being Donald...
The President refused to admit that he was wrong, and instead sent out a passive-aggressive tweet aimed at ABC's "lightweight" reporter, all while standing firmly with his claims.And then there was the map.
The map has been obviously altered.
Can't quite see it?
People on Twitter were in disbelief.
