The temperature in Washington D.C. was roughly 53 degrees fahrenheit when the White House shared a photo claiming that it was snowing.
Immediately after the tweet was shared, hundreds of Americans took to social media to accuse the White House of lying about the snow."It was 70 degrees today. There is no snow out there," national security lawyer Bradley Moss tweeted."Narrator: it's 53 degrees in Washington DC right now," Daily Beast editor Molly Jong-Fast added.reached out to the White House for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
The tweet on Sunday was not the first time team Trump had made a misleading statement about the weather that contradicted scientific forecasts. Last September, Trump was brutally mocked after he displayed a map showing Hurricane Dorian's projected path in the Oval Office, which appeared to have been doctored with a sharpie pen to include the state of Alabama in its expected path.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's acting chief then jumped to Trump's defense and dismissed the agency's own projections. The weather tweet"spoke in absolute terms that were inconsistent with probabilities from the best forecast products available at the time," the NOAA said in a statement.
