If I remember correctly the sharpie map was because Trump tweeted that Alabama was going to be affected and then after people called NOAA and they said Alabama was fine, Trump instead of admitting his mistake, repeated on Twitter that he was correct culminating in a press conference where he presented an official NOAA map that had sharpie drawn into Alabama.
