A Historical Blunder: Trump Claims 1775 Revolutionary Army 'took over airports'!
According to Fox News, Donald Trump is now blaming a malfunctioning teleprompter for a historic gaffe in his Independence Day speech in which he mistakenly said the Army took over airports during the 18th century American Revolution! He also seemed to confuse that Revolutionary war with the War of 1812.
As listeners were quick to point out, air travel did not occur in the US until early in the 1900s. The Wright brothers, whom Trump praised earlier in his speech, are credited with flying the world’s first plane in 1903.
Others jokingly shared cartoons of airplanes attacking American Revolutionaries and George Washington on horseback:
Trump made the mistake during his hour-long speech at the Lincoln memorial in Washington DC as part of his 4th of July “Salute to America” celebrations, which saw him become the first US president in nearly 70 years to address the country on Independence Day and amidst a rare display of tanks and airplanes.
Recently, Yale psychiatrist Dr. Bandy Lee has warned that "Trump's mental health is now a national and global emergency." Dr. Lee, a professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine and editor of the bestselling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" convened a panel comprised of leading mental health experts to evaluate Donald Trump based upon his behavior as detailed in the Mueller report. Their definitive conclusion: Trump is mentally unfit, a threat to the United States and the world, and as such should have his powers severely restricted.
Separately, according to an investigative blog published earlier this year, actor and comedian Tom Arnold and GOP strategist Rick Wilson have alleged that Trump's constant sniffling is caused by snorting the drug Adderall used to treat attention-Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder.
