President Trump said that he’s “not sure that he’s ever even heard of a Category 5” hurricane, despite four such storms having threatened the U.S. since he took office, CNN reports.
Said Trump: “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.”
