History according to Trump

[Tranquillus in Exile]

President Trump read most of his July 4 speech from a prepared text. Here is a memorable bit:

"Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rocket’s red glare it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their star-spangled banner waved defiant."

There was no air war or airports in the 18th century, Mr President. That's fake news. Also the siege of Fort McHenry was in the War of 1812 - the one where the British burned the White House.

Watch out, Mr President, the redcoats are coming for you! And ffs get a new speechwriter.

I saw this morning when I turned on the puter that the airports thing is trending. Hahahahahaha! Gods, what a fucktard. If you were handed a speech to deliver, wouldn't you at least read it over first?!?

OTOH it's entirely possible that the speech did not mention airports and the idiot just put that in there because either he misread or was just thinking about the planes doing flyovers during the festivities. Either way, he owns it.

Remember when he told Justin Trudeau that Canadians burned the White House?

We have a President who thinks there were airports in the 18th century, Canada burned the White House in the Revolutionary War, and God knows what else.

Never mind, he may have a backward fifth-grader's knowledge of America's past, but he knows how to make America great again. He said so!

The British rockets, of course, didn't work because Washington had got the French to impose sanctions on their nuclear fuel.

How do you know that wasn't true after all Leonardo da Vinci invented a flying machine. LOL.

Donald Trump's 'airport' revolution sees people rewrite history

During the address in Washington DC, Mr Trump suggested the Continental Army "took over the airports" during the revolutionary war against Britain in the late 18th Century.

This being despite the fact the first successful plane to take flight was the Wright Flyer, in the US, in 1903 - more than 100 years later.

A little nitpicking and word policing to disguise the fact you guys were completely wrong about the event and what transpired.

Poor ignorant PP. that is what he said in the speech. Some of us thing he should have caught himself from saying something so stupid. You, in your twisted right wing world, blame the left. Do you have no bottom? If Obama did that you would have started a dozen threads on it.

so you found one item to complain about in a one hour speech.......and you had to post it......as for threads about Obama I haven't started a dozen threads in the last six years, so I expect you are wrong once more...

You would not say that if a Dem said something that stupid. On the big stage, one that he orchestrated, he blew something simple. Of course, he might not know better. He does not pay much attention to things that don't make money for him. Well, that and grabbing pussy.

Of course, you are wrong. It wasn't an hour speech, it was interrupted by music and flybys. It was short and basic. Yet even on the grade school level, it was on, he blew it.

Trump is known for being able to talk for an hour and say nothing, but this time he said a mouthful.

Either Washington's army "manned the air" and "took over the airports" as Trump said, or they didn't. Which was it?

My theory is that they used stealth aircraft, which Trump has previously told us are invisible. That's why nobody saw them.
