Anyone else surprised that NOBODY with trump* is better at photoshopping a weather map?

Seriously, had someone 'altered' this map with a white line, rather than a black one, this wouldn't be such a shockingly laughable while at the same time tragic situation.

never becomes smaller as you project into the future.

The cone is drawn as a series of circles from where the hurricane or TD is at the beginning of the forecast, as you move into the future, those circles become wider and wider... thus forming a cone.

The end circle is NEVER smaller than the previous circles... if it was then you are saying "we don't know within 50 miles of where it will be on day X-1... but we KNOW it will be within 30 miles of point Y on day X.

I feel like whoever was ordered to make this fake map was a) completely ignorant of these things or b) drew it this way to let everyone know it was a fake (even without the black sharpie).
