Attention Robert Mueller: You now have something new to tack onto your "investigation" into Russian collusion. The Washington Post editorial board is linking Trump to Hurricane Florence. Don't forget to add that to your list of questions to ask Paul Manafort.

And if that wasn't enough, the Post's cartoonist, a cartoon named Tom Toles, has an op-ed with the same theme.

What else is Trump responsible for, the Johnstown flood? On second thought, I don't want to give the Post and Mr Mueller any ideas.
So I will close with a great film clip with another (non-WaPo) example of fake news connected to Florence. This from the Weather Channel. (No, I am not denying that Florence really exists). Check this out. (Hat tip Mashable)

The WaPo blames hurricane Florence on Trump. But, did the WaPo give credit to Trump for downgrading Florence from a Category 4, to a Category 1, just before it hit the Carolinas. No they did not! Fake News.
