Has the W.H. explained Continental troops taking over the airports?

[left-of-center2012]

Did anyone even bother to ask the White House about the errors in Trump's 4th of July speech?
If so, what was their response?

[Aristus]

1. Trump is saying the rain made him do it.

My thing is: how does he explain all the stupid shit he says when it's not raining?

3. Rusted his brain implant?

He should get a new one from Uncle Vlad.

2. I mean c'mon, the airports?

General George would never have stood for that! Ridiculous.

[royable]

4. It had something to do with General Washington's teleprompter not working while crossing the Potomac

The best people are saying that.

[gratuitous]

5. His teleprompter went on the fritz

So, naturally, Trump's brain immediately concocted a story about airports in colonial America, Lord Cornwallis of Yorktown, and their unlikely relationship to Fort McHenry 30 years later. Can any of us truly say we could do better? Whoa, that's a lot of hands!

6. Yes, they blame the teleprompter going out

for some period of time. Although one would think Americans who have had any schooling know there were no airports around in the 1770s. It's obvious Trump had to speak contemporaenously and went on a fact-free riff until his text re-appeared.

10. "Americans who have had any schooling"

Trump has told us he has the best brain in the world.

He hasn’t told us whose brain it is,
and if he keeps it in a jar.

11. "Abby Normal"

for those who've seen "Young Frankenstein".

7. The Continental

troops were superseded by United (States) troops, if I recall my history correctly.

[Everyman Jackal]

8. I was wondering why there aren't any photos of the airplanes taken during the Revolution

until I realized that Tom Brady's brother Mathew was busy taking photographs of the Civil War.

9. "It was obviously Obama's fault! What's the matter with you? Get with the program!"
