The editorial board of the Washington Post has declared that President Trump is “complicit” for Hurricane Florence because of his views on climate change.

The massive storm has not made landfall yet, but the Post published a column on Wednesday headlined, “Another hurricane is about to batter our coast. Trump is complicit.”

The piece also notes that Trump has given “good advice” when issuing hurricane warnings via his Twitter feed before it launched an attack on the president.

“When it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humans’ role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. It is hard to attribute any single weather event to climate change. But there is no reasonable doubt that humans are priming the Earth’s systems to produce disasters,” the editorial board wrote.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos’ paper then quotes a climate researcher who said that previous hurricanes would not have produced so much rain without “human-induced climate change” and Florence is another indication of global warming.

“With depressingly ironic timing, the Trump administration announced Tuesday a plan to roll back federal rules on methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is the main component in natural gas. Drillers and transporters of the fuel were supposed to be more careful about letting it waft into the atmosphere, which is nothing more than rank resource waste that also harms the environment,” the Post’s editorial board wrote. “The Trump administration has now attacked all three pillars of President Barack Obama’s climate-change plan.”

The piece concluded: “The president has cemented the GOP’s legacy as one of reaction and reality denial. Sadly, few in his party appear to care.”

Conservative strategist Chris Barron told Fox News that the mainstream media ‘finds new ways to embarrass themselves and further erode Americans confidence in them” on a daily basis.

“This column is so absurd it should be coming from The Onion not the Washington Post. To the extent that climate change is happening, it is a global phenomenon that has been occurring for decades and decades,” Barron said. “The media won’t give Trump credit for the economy but they will blame him for a hurricane. You can’t make this stuff up.”

The Category 4 hurricane remains strong as it continues its approach to the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph, the National Hurricane Center said in its 8 a.m. advisory. Florence was 530 miles south east of Cape Fear, North Carolina and moving west northwest at 17 mph.

According to Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean, Florence could stall upon reaching the Carolina coast and make a slight shift south once it makes landfall, becoming a “major flooding event.”

In addition to the hurricane-strength winds blowing ashore Friday, Florence has the potential to bring a storm surge upwards of six feet in parts of the coastline, including up to 13 feet from Cape Fear north to Cape Lookout.

“Hurricane Florence will likely be another tragedy that will affect millions of Americans and it's disgusting when folks in the media will try to exploit it to attack the president,” Mediaite columnist Joseph Wulfsohn told Fox News.

On Wednesday morning, President Trump urged caution to residents refusing to evacuate coastal towns, saying Florence is “bigger than anticipated.”
“Hurricane Florence is looking bigger than anticipated,” Trump tweeted. “It will be arriving soon. FEMA, First Responders and Law Enforcement are supplied and ready. Be safe!”

Trump also released a video urging residents in affected areas to “get out of its way."

On Tuesday, the Washington Post published a different anti-Trump piece by MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough, who wrote that “Trump is harming the dream of America more than any foreign adversary ever could.”

The “Morning Joe” namesake was criticized for tweeting that “Trump is damaging the dream of America more than any terrorist attack ever could” to promote the column, which was published on the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

More Liberal "Logic" right there. Another perfect example of the Democrats bending, twisting and lying to fit their agenda.

What's really funny is that when President Bush was out of office for almost two years the Democrats blamed the economy tanking on him. President Trump has been in office for almost two years and the Democrats are saying that the economy has gotten better recently because of President Obama. Hypocrites and liars that are out of their minds.

Liberals are out of control with the things they come up with daily to smear Trump's image. It minimalizes any real points they might have.

The Washington Compost,AKA Jeff's Bugle,Bezos'Vuvuzela,the Place where the Truth dies in Darkness!

Next the left will say that the hurricanes are because Trump had a affair with Mother Nature

WHOA!!!
Don't give them any Ideas!

I am getting sick of it. The personal attacks, the lies the calling for his twelve year old son to be kidnapped and brutally murdered all because they are sore losers is disgusting.

Trump should have sent out container ships with giant fans, to blow the hurricane away.

Oh wait. That would pollute the atmosphere. Nope, can't have that.

How stupid is that, blaming Trump. This President has actually done some things positive for this Country,since he has taken office.

Bush left debt and Obama increased it by Trillions ! US. does not need anyone in office as POTUS That lacks knowledge of how to grow economy and jobs.

Period !

Well, as a Giant fan and after watching their first game I would get in that container... they are going to suck... again.

Arrest have already been made because people were caught looting in the hurricane area. Some People have no shame

Remember Obamas " three pillars of climate control". Hurricane Florence just blew them down because they were just fluff and faux. The 1950s was much more destructive as far as damage and lives caused by weather related catastrophe's than present day. I believe we should blame these liberals that we see everyday calling Trump every name in the book. After all they are a bunch of Blowhards!

I suppose that nothing shows one's character more than when one is faced with losing..in the case of the DEMS losing gracefully is obviously not within their character..but I mean when you have to break out and use the cackling witches and their divisive stone age attitudes..thats when you should start getting a clue that your shyt is WEAK..SHUT UP MAXINE NANCY HILLARY..a covenant of stygian witches...also known as ENYO..PEMPHREDO AND DEINO...unfortunately for them Trump has the EYE..... "Clever boy! Now the eye Give us the EYE! The Eye."

Somewhere in a nursing home there are three beds with their names on them..I'm thinkin' it's way past their bed times..

WWG1 WGA

Wait!
The same group of idiots who snort retardedly
over how dumb they think Trump should be...

Simultaneously believe, Trump has the genius to
create, time, and aim a hurricane? And, direct sea
tides to shift, for greater impact?



Libs have gone beyond being butt dumb,
as usual.

it is a dumb one, It is not highlighted as often in the democrats as it is in the republicans is all.

but as has been repeatedly stated, both sides have people that fit the tag of 'lazy thinking' or 'dumb'(not a word I like to use)

It's the Dem elietists that try to manipulate their followers. Tell a lie long enough, and it becomes a fact. More people will believe a legend, because it sounds better.


Paul Revere's ride is very famous. But he only rode about 30 miles, alerting the militia.

Israel Bissel on the other hand, rode 345 miles, alerting the bulk of the militia. He should have gotten the credit for bringing out the numbers to defeat the british. Revere was well known, Bissel was a big nobody. Revere benefited from Bissel's work, and took credit for it.

Sounds a bit like Trump and obama. Except that we have the line on obama. If obama was so great about creating jobs, then why didn't the economy take off in his tenure? Because he tried to rule & regulate industry, and stifled the growth. Crippling them with useless regs, he then tried to take away their money before industry could use it to comply with his useless new regs.

Very much like trying to get more milk out of a cow, and feeding it less. Innovation comes with a price tag. I think he was trying to collect money from both ends. That never worked before, it doesn't work now, and it will never work in the future.

And yet, we did not plunge into depression.

we went from hemorrahging hundreds of thousands of jobs to record job creation.

we went from skyrocketing unemployment to falling unemployment.

we prevented the collapse of banks and our auto market.

we took out the head terrorist of THAT era, (though there is always another group and leader to take their place)

plenty to applaud under his leadership, even if others refuse to.



positive things, no matter how much we nit pick about how 'fast' it happened or what 'should' have happened before. We don't have alot of other times in history of near depression to really compare it to.


I think Trump is the 'legend' who's "SAVING YOU FROM THE STATUS QUO" rhetoric sounds better to far too many than actual facts, logic and/or presidential aptitude.

Trump is complicit to the extent that he, as POTUS, openly and actively denies AGW. Nobody is claiming that Trump "caused" the hurricane. It's no different than when Republicans blame Democrats every time an illegal immigrant murders an American.

Trump IS to blame for the hurricane! Everybody knows they are caused by lots of hot air that gets swirling around a centerpiece.

- Hot air? Trump is full of it, no one can doubt that. "Look at a wonderful job I am doing taking credit for how Obama repaired the economy", etc

- Centerpiece? We know that Trump believes he is the center stake for everything that is good, and how all news is about him and his big ego.

I mean, the sun would not come up tomorrow unless Trump deems it so. "I did not give the sun permission to rise today, if it came up, that is FAKE NEWS!"

Just hope FEMA dos a better job in Carolina than it did in Puerto Rico last year. Carolina folks vote RED...

If it wasn't for the cajon navy, a lot more would have died during Harvey. obama could have cared less about that. Oh, by the way, the cagon navy is heading to North Carolina. Us smelly WalMart people are like that.

well , hot air is energy and Trump is full of energy. He has to , to be able to get so much of his policy and promises accomplished. Unlike the dead calm , staled fronts of the Obama policy. Low energy doesn't do much for gaining strength, but it has a lot to do with losing ground to a flood of failure... Don't worry bubba, Carolina will vote RED both north and south. You do know red is republican, or were you suggesting that since we vote red that we deserve this hurricane . I hope that's not the case.
