    Default Trump doesn't think he's 'ever even heard of a Category 5' hurricane

    Trump said Sunday that he's "not sure that (he's) ever even heard of a Category 5" hurricane, despite several such storms 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.

    The comments from the President came just before Dorian, a dangerous Category 5 storm, made landfall on the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas. The storm is the most recent of four Category 5 hurricanes to threaten the US since Trump assumed the Oval Office.

    What a dumbass Trump is?!!

    I guess Trump has forgotten about Hurricane Andrew?

    Hurricane Andrew was a powerful and destructive Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that struck the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana in August 1992.

    Signal less, Andrew was not on his watch. If you want to poke fun at Trump at least be current hurricane Michael was the last cat 5 to hit the states on his watch.

    Trump owned Mar A Lago in 1991. What's that 45 minutes away from areas WIPED OUT in Miami? He wouldn't have been well aware of a CAT 5 in south Florida near his prized property?

    I think he is blissfully unaware of hurricane CAT's because to him it's unimportant. I can assure you he is insured to the hilt. So he doesn't worry that is for his underlings to do.

    You seem to be FULL of bullshit. Camille really barely counts as it was in the Gulf and barely nipped the Florida Panhandle. Miami was never wiped out you lying ignoramus.

    Here's a look back at the Category 5 hurricanes that have made landfall in the US:

    Hurricane Andrew, August 16 - 28, 1992
    Hurricane Camille, August 14 - 22, 1969
    The unnamed 'Labor Day' Hurricane, August 29 - September 10, 1935

    Trump Stumped by Category 5 Storm Bearing Down on East Coast“I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a Category Five,” Trump said during a televised briefing at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington.

    “I’ve seen some Category Fours, you don’t even see them that much,” he said. “But a Category Five 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.”

    Three Category 5 hurricanes have hit the mainland U.S. or U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, since Trump was inaugurated: Irma and Maria


    The president returned to Washington on Sunday from Camp David, Maryland, where he’d been for two nights after canceling a trip to Poland so he could better monitor preparations for the hurricane. Vice President Mike Pence went to Poland in Trump’s place.

    Trump spent several hours Saturday at his private golf club in Northern Virginia, flying in by helicopter from the rustic presidential retreat. While there he received hourly updates on the approach of Dorian, according to the White House. He also had a briefing on the storm late Saturday afternoon.

    In my opinion on top of these natural weather related storms, there is another deplorable storm in process that is a menace and threat on the entire world and civilization, worse than Dorian, as in hurricane 45 that developed off the coast of Russia, the GOP and stupid voters.
