Trump says he's never heard of a Category 5 hurricane before....which is the same thing he says every time there's a Category 5 hurricane.

Trump doesn't think he's 'ever even heard of a Category five' hurricane. Four have threatened the US since he took office - CNNPolitics
President Donald Trump said Sunday that he's "not sure that (he's) ever even heard of a Category 5" hurricane, despite four such storms -- including Hurricane Dorian -- having threatened the US since he took office.

"We don't even know what's coming at us. All we know is it's possibly the biggest. I have -- I'm not sure that I've ever even heard of a Category 5. I knew it existed. And I've seen some Category 4's -- you don't even see them that much," Trump said at a briefing with officials at FEMA's headquarters in Washington, DC.

"But a Category 5 is something that -- I don't know that I've ever even heard the term other than I know it's there. That's the ultimate, and that's what we have unfortunately," he added, in reference to Hurricane Dorian.
In September 2017, nearly eight months into Trump's presidency, Hurricane Irma, one of the strongest Atlantic basin hurricane ever recorded outside the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, affected at least nine US states. That same month, Hurricane Maria devastated the US territory of Puerto Rico, leaving behind an island that is still struggling to recover.
Last October, Hurricane Michael, which was originally designated as a Category 4, barreled into the Florida Panhandle as the third Category 5 hurricane to blast the US since Trump.
Not the first time Trump said he's never heard of a Category 5

Trump has previously indicated several other times that Category 5 hurricanes are unprecedented weather events that either he or others had never heard of or witnessed.
In the days between the landfalls of Hurricane Irma and Maria, he said he "never even knew" they existed
In October 2017, Trump claimed "nobody has ever heard of a (Category) 5 hitting land," and earlier this year, he again said he had never heard of a hurricane of that intensity.
While the US has seen a number of Category 5 storms in recent memory -- including Hurricane Katrina in 2005 -- scientists estimate that Atlantic hurricanes could become more common in the coming years. And while researchers can't definitively say the climate crisis is leading to more intense hurricanes, scientists have found that rising sea levels due to global warming can further exacerbate the impact of Atlantic hurricanes.

He's senile as fukk. :mjlol:

shyt like this is beyond the pale man. It isn't senility though, it's the need to make every event the 'biggest', like how he always talks about how his crowd sizes are the biggest.

It shows how reprehensible someone is when they feel the need to bring that thinking into disaster situations.

Even if you're on to something with the motivation, where's the internal control that tells him, "You've said this exact same thing the last three times and will look stupid if you just keep repeating it."?

If you find that internal control you will also find his conscience and empathy. Just something that he simply doesn't possess.

Trump acting like he's running against the squad and not the people polling higher than him.
