Trump says he's never heard of category 5 storm as Hurricane Dorian pounds Bahamas
Video footage of US President Donald Trump saying he has never heard of a category 5 storm as Hurricane Dorian wreaks havoc in the Bahamas has gone viral, with many pointing out Dorian is the fourth category five storm under his presidency.
Trump delayed a trip to Poland to monitor the effects of Dorian.
In footage from a news conference which has been widely shared, Trump said: "I'm not sure I've even heard of a category five. I knew it existed."
Trump cancels Poland trip because he has to monitor Hurricane Dorian. He has never* heard of a Category 5 hurricane.

I guess he didnt hear about Maria, even though he threw paper towels at the survivors in PR?! What a total idiot.
1) You don’t pray, so stop pretending. 2) Yes, Category 5, you know, the thing you didn’t know existed (except for the Cat 5 storms that have already happened during your time in office). #testtrumpsmind

#Dotard @realDonaldTrump said today that he had no idea that hurricanes could be category 5, even though he’s already had 3 of them during his administration. No wonder he wants to nuke them. pic.twitter.com/WahhBMhjbX
