The press jumped on that with the usual giddiness: Trump is lying! Trump is misinformed! Trump doesn’t know a map! To his detriment, the president refused to admit that the storm projections had changed or that he ever could be wrong. So he doubled down. Alabama was in the path of the storm, he insisted. That had been true—or potentially true—at one point in time. But the president was as stubborn as his wife and never wanted to concede anything to the press.
The board was from a prior meeting. Wasn't supposed to have still been there. I always assumed he drew it in front of the press?
My take: Sounds plausible within scope of whole book. Jury's out and it doesn't mean anything in the end.
