Our army took over the airports? During the Revolutionary War?
Really?

“...Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown.

"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, ...”

For all you history buffs out there, Fort McHenry was during the war of 1812.

It seems obvious to me that something either got transposed or they had a teleprompter error. Please enjoy the liberal cartoon of the day and think you won something. All of you made fools of yourselves whining about a speech that hadn't happened yet.

You’re right, trump AND his staff are incompetent dolts. Thanks for clearing that up.

Try some of these while you're still feeling superior.

Time is going to have to add a wing and hire a bunch of staff to comb through all of Trump's follies.

And they're still researching obamas. Find me a president that didn't make a gaffe.

Not sure you understand my stance. trump did exactly what I figured he would. He wasted a ton of tax payer money for an opportunity to prove how much of a mouth breathing idiot he is.
He proved me correct. In both aspects.
He might as well have said...
“George Washington won the battle of LaGuardia freeing terminal 6 from British Airways.”
At least I would have thought it was tongue in cheek. As it was his ramblings were truly from a deep place of poor education and lack of intelligence. He’s a moron. He put it on display for the world to see. ‘Murika.

He read from a teleprompter. I'd love to see you give a 45 minute speech without a single mistake.

Trump blames 'airports' gaffe on teleprompter

He told crowds on 4 July the Continental Army "took over the airports" during the American Revolutionary War in the 1770s.

Observers quickly pointed out there was no air travel in 18th Century America.

Explaining away the slip-up on Friday, Mr Trump also said it was hard to read the teleprompter in the rain.

During his "Salute to America" speech at the Lincoln Memorial on Thursday, he was talking about the year 1775 when he said: "Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do."

Critics pointed out the rebels could not have seized airports more than a century before the first powered flight - credited to the Wright brothers in 1903 - took off.

In the same sentence, Mr Trump also appeared to date a battle at Fort McHenry to the American Revolution, when it unfolded decades later during the War of 1812.

Outside the White House on Friday, Mr Trump said: "I guess the rain knocked out the teleprompter.

"I knew the speech very well so I was able to do it without a teleprompter but the teleprompter did go out and it was actually hard to look at anyway because there was rain all over it but despite the rain it was just a fantastic evening."

The president spoke to reporters as he departed with First Lady Melania Trump for the weekend to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

When President Barack Obama was in office, Donald Trump repeatedly ridiculed him over the use of a teleprompter — a form of electronic cue cards — to deliver speeches, even though teleprompter use has long been common for presidents and other politicians who must deliver lengthy speeches often with little preparation. At the same time, Trump boasted of his own supposed ability to deliver speeches without a teleprompter, once asking reporters, “Isn’t it nice that I’m not one of these teleprompter guys?” according to The New York Times.

Trump amplified his attacks on teleprompter use when it came to his 2016 presidential election opponent, Hillary Clinton, repeatedly slamming her for delivering speeches aided by a teleprompter. As Politico recounted, he once ridiculed her for allegedly having one of “the biggest teleprompters” he had ever seen.

See someone talk for 30-45 mins without making a goof in a speech?

Watch TV. Actors do their lines on a daily basis.

He read from a teleprompter.

Bush was funny, in an innocent way.

I don't know what's stupider. That fact that Trump flubbed part of a long speech and a bunch of idiot libs think it was intentional...blah blah blah excuse excuse excuse for the moron I voted into the Oval Office... blah

One thing became painfully obvious here. American history wasn't a subject he studied.

I’m somewhat bewildered that trump hasn’t tweeted out that the Incas had airports in South America thousands of years ago.

So saying that their were airports during the revolutionary war is a simple gaff? Even you're smarter than that.
