During Trump’s 45 minute teleprompter drone this afternoon in front of the rain soaked Lincoln Memorial, he clearly stumbled while reading the narration of the Revolutionary War.  Quote:

“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.”

Then Trump had a brain fart:

“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.”

The US Army took over the airports?  During the war for independence or in 1812?  Two hundred years before there were airports?  Just another example of Trump’s mindless recitation of lines written by someone else.  If he loses track, he just substitutes phonetics, much like Beatles cover bands in Bangkok.  If it’s close, it’s good enough for this guy.  Clearly, Trump spent more time on watching Fox News for instructions than rehearsing his speech for his “lifetime experience”.

Jesus.
