Trump Says Troops ‘Took Over Airports’ During Revolutionary War, in Rainy Fourth of July Speech

“The Continental Army… manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do,” the president said

Twenty-eight years after tanks were last in Washington, D.C., they returned for President Donald Trump’s ego parade, titled “A Salute to America.” Although, the tanks did not roll down the city’s streets as the president wanted. They instead flanked him as he gave a speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The speech largely avoided politics, focusing instead on the military.

But while recapping great military victories, Trump stumbled, failing to read the teleprompter accurately, he said that American troops in the Revolutionary War “took over airports,” not realizing, of course, that airports did not exist in the 1700s.

“In June of 1775 the Continental Congress created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around Boston and New York, and named after the great George Washington, commander-in-chief. The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown,” Trump said.

Then, he went off the rails and seemingly mixed up the Revolutionary War with the War of 1812. “Our Army manned the air, it rammed (?) the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, had nothing but victory. When dawn came, the star-spangled banner waved defiant.”

You are mistaken. I have a distant relative who took a picture of aircraft in flying formation over his platoon back then with his iphone.

Who cares?------apparently you folks have no sense of humor and do not understand hyperbole.----- Now let's get to some real stupidity and watch Barack Milhouse Benito Hussein Obama read "Corpseman" instead of "Corpsman " off a teleprompter without so much as a pause.
