Donald Trump Thinks There Were Airports In The Revolutionalry War (independence, speech)

[Bureaucat]

From his speech on the 4th of July:

Said Trump:

”Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports.”

In the link to the US Today article there’s a clip of what he said.

And he referred to Air Force One as AirCRAFT 1 several times

He is really going senile and it is bad enough he can’t keep from revealing the seriousness of his condition when he opens his mouth...

He likely confused this speech with the recent trip to the UK and speeches about WW2

We are risking the world keeping this man in the Oval Office...
Mitch McConnell is willing to roll those dice but I am not...
Any sane person would judge Trump is a danger that needs to be removed...

[Ponderosa]

He is getting so bad he can't even read the teleprompter correctly anymore. He is unfit for office.

I somehow knew that speech was going to be funny as Hell ! I bet the people in the audience were like "What? Who knew we had fighter jets in the Revolutionary war......I should have stayed in school and not dropped out !"

But, seriously, this is more than just a flub up by Trump, it really does show there is something going on mentally with him. It is more than just old age, it seems to be something more serious happening. I wish him no ill will, but I hope his handlers start keeping a tighter reign on him.

There were airports in all 57 states at the time of the revolution. You can look it up.

But there were no jets, and only fixed wing.

Not funny unless you consider election 2016 as a “revolution”

And you can’t “ram the ramparts”. You “man the ramparts”. Ramparts is a term for fixed fortification, like a castle wall. You can ram a cannon getting it ready to fire, but you can’t ram a rampart.

We’re used to Presidents speaking with such precision, because words have consequences. This is just weird.

That's what happens when the reader does not go over the message prior to the reading.

Trump does not do any work.

Meh, I'll take that over "If you like your plan, you can keep it" any day.

Beware what they taught us in loser schools
That Wright brothers flew first, what utter fools
Were we to believe fake teachers, right?
Thank God, He spoke. Now it's rectified
