That whole spiel about Fort McHenry is no "goof." He did believe that. Of course, it's not that unforgiveable to mix up those two wars, but still.....as President you'd think he might check his facts before going on national television.Likely...it is hard to tell. But whatever he meant to say, it is clear in the video the teleprompter malfunctioned and he goofed it.What word do you think he misread? I think he was alluding to the bombing of Shayrat Airbase in 2017.We see today, on this forum in several threads, but worse on supposed "news" outlets a fine example of TDS... Trump Derangement Syndrome.
CNN, MSNBC, NYT the Washington Post and others... portraying this obvious teleprompt blunder as a "bizarre claim"... "mental lapse by the President".... really you dumbasses? Are you that pathetic in your hatred that you honestly believe he thinks there were airports in 1775?
I remember when Obama made a similar gaffe and claimed he would visit all 57 states in his campaign.
No one seriously made a claim that he honestly believed there are 57 states. Well...save a few idiots.
When in Honolulu, Obama, after a particularly long day, not to mention jet leg, mistakenly referred to Hawaii as being part of Asia... no one reported it as he actually thinks Hawaii is in Asia.
When making a speech on Memorial Day, paying tribute to fallen heroes... Obama accidently said "I can see them right here in this audience"... when he was meant to say "I see the surviving families in the audience.
One could go on for some time on his and other Presidents quite humorous misstatements.
But in today's hyper sensitive Trump outrage.... we are to believe these idiots that our President wasn't making a mistake. He thought jets were flying around in the revolutionary war.
You are all idiots.
I think he took the word "port" and said "airport" by mistake.
It happens.
Youtube must have 50,000 videos of officials at all levels saying something way out there by mistake.
But noooo.... CNN wants us to believe he really believes it.
Rightwinger, I was just trying to understand where "airports" came from, not trying to convince anyone that the President's history is accurate.Good theory, but our Army did not actually take over ports as a winning strategy.Of course, Osiris! I didn't think of that, but "ports" is exactly what he was trying to read.What word do you think he misread? I think he was alluding to the bombing of Shayrat Airbase in 2017.
It stands to reason the word he misread was actually "ports" considering the significance of the naval operations in the Revolutionary War. Control of the ports provided a decisive military, strategic and logistical advantage. When the French fleet arrived, Washington coordinated our military operations with the French fleet to take and defend Newport, and later, Chesapeake Bay, which was of critical importance to our victory.
Also, because the British Royal Navy had a significant Naval superiority advantage over the Continental Navy, Congress helped our cause by issuing what's known as "letters of marque" to colonial privateers (civilians who privately owned boats that were armed, authorizing them to attack/capture enemy vessels), which resulted in over 2,000 British ships being captured and taken to ports that were not under British control, valued at over $60 million dollars.
These Naval operations, and the fight for control of the major colonial ports (which had been blockaded by the British Royal Navy relatively early), concluding with the French fleet taking control over Chesapeake Bay and providing naval support for the siege of Yorktown and the consequent surrender of General Cornwallis, were, in no uncertain terms, the major turning points of the war.

Naval battles of the American Revolutionary War - Wikipedia
Our area engaged in what is now termed the first Naval battle of the Revolution, in June 1775 in Machias, Maine--the Battle of the Margaretta.
For most of the war, The British took whatever ports they wanted.....Boston, NY, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston
It was the French Navy that ultimately ended British control of our ports, not Washington’s Army

I'm not going to argue with you; it is history. I've read primary source documents about it. The Continental Army may not have had a "Navy," but they sure had ships engaging with the British.Of course, Osiris!

Our area engaged in what is now termed the first Naval battle of the Revolution, in June 1775 in Machias, Maine--the Battle of the Margaretta.
In point of fact, the British Navy controlled ports up and down the coast of the then British Colonies.
Maine, as a state did not exist in 1775. It was part of the the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The American Revolution, as an Armed Rebellion against Great Britain did not begin in earnest until after the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.
The British Navy was one of most powerful navies of its time. There was no U.S. Navy to fight the British Navy in 1775.
Next you going to tell us that Washington crossed the Delaware River in helicopter.

As long as you're wetting your pants over it I'm good.
He's out there celebrating our country and you're whining about some word salad.
Fake news.“Our Army manned the [unintelligible], it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do and at Ft. McHenry under the rocket’s red glare had nothing but victory. When dawn came, the star-spangled banner waved defiant.”
The denial about Trump being such a moron cannot be healthy.

What your trying to do and failing at doing so is justify the lies 45 told. But because you find the lies easier to believe I am not surprised.
Wry, would you mind telling that bravo idiot that I'm not a "con?"As long as you're wetting your pants over it I'm good.
He's out there celebrating our country and you're whining about some word salad.
He was celebrating himself, the word salad adds some evidence that The Donald might be schizophrenic, when he speaks ad lib, he says some really odd things.

You're quite the know-it-all, aren't you, bravoactual? Here for the campaign are you? I don't recall seeing you around the past few years. But it's really great to have you with us to clear up all those facts you think you know.I'm not going to argue with you; it is history. I've read primary source documents about it.

Except for the fact the Revolution did not begin until 1776. That there was no U.S. Navy to fight the British Navy you're fine. Try telling the truth, which I know for a lying , 45 loving Con is hard to do.
I read your link. 1775. The Siege of Boston Harbor. Massachusetts Bay Colony. Nope, no Maine at all. There was no Naval Battle, one needs a Navy to have such a battle and there was NO. U.S. NAVY AT THE TIME.
He never said it, some trolls edited a video.Like two or three threads on this already
when a POTUS says something as asinine as Washington's Army "took over the airports" in 1775 there should be 1,001 threads about the dumbassery of the POTUS.
Clearly, he's stupid.Wry, would you mind telling that bravo idiot that I'm not a "con?"As long as you're wetting your pants over it I'm good.

Will do. I don't have clue why he would infer you are.
