This is a quote from Trump's memorable 4th of July speech:
“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,” he said. “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, under the rocket’s red glare, it had nothing but victory.”
Now, by any normal definition that would seem to be fake news. If the Continental soldiers really manned the air, I don't understand why they didn't have supplies flown in and dropped by parachute at Valley Forge. If they really wanted to beat the British, all they had to do was make them go through TSA at Philadephia International Airport. Chances are, they wouldn't have had the correct boarding passes, anyway.
And it's nice to know they suffered nothing but victories. Especially during the War of 1812. But let's give the man credit, he knew his speech cold (that's what he said) so when the teleprompter went out (because it was raining - something that does not bode well for out ability to fight in the rain) he could say his speech without any mistakes.
Bravo, Mr. President. Now you need only to graduate from the third grade. The Wharton School should be ashamed.
