Stephen Colbert destroys Trump's incredibly sketchy Hurricane Dorian 'edit'

Politics has become so far-fetched these days that certain moments almost feel like something out of a sketch show. And when it gets to the stage where the actual president is presenting maps that appear to have been doctored with a sharpie, you almost have to stop and pinch yourself.

"Remember the last two days, how he got into a disagreement with the National Weather Surface, where he tweeted the storm was gonna hit Alabama, and they said, 'What, no!'?" explains Colbert in The Late Show clip above. "Well take a closer look at Trump's outdated map from last Thursday morning -- he used a Sharpie to extend the path into Alabama!"

It does certainly look like the map had been hastily altered to include Alabama. And despite Trump's protests when he was asked about it by a reporter, he hasn't been able to stop the slew of memes that photo inevitably generated.
