The U.S. has been threatened by four Category 5 storms during Trump's presidency. He's still 'not sure' he's even heard of them
President Trump receives a briefing on Hurricane Dorian. Photo: NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images Hurricane Dorian is not the first Category 5 hurricane to threaten the United States during Donald Trump’s presidency, but on Sunday he said he’s “not sure” he’s “ever even heard” of such a thing.
Not only has Trump seen the U.S. threatened by Category 5 hurricanes, the strongest classification on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, he’s used nearly the same line before, as CNN’s Daniel Dale pointed out in a tweet. One year later, Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico as a Category 4 storm. But in remarks on the damage it caused, Trump repeatedly referred to Maria as a Category 5 storm. His facts may have been wrong, but clearly he’s heard of a Category 5 hurricane.
