July 4, 2019: Trumpendence Day!

@Mike_Mabes

… It was a decent speech and the only thing at all political was a mention of the Space Force and how ISIS has been 100% defeated. … The last line was something about how if we remembered our history there is nothing we can’t do.

Can’t wait to hear people talking about how presedential he was and this that this could be a turning point for him

@commasense

How is it that no one, including El Kabong, has mentioned this passage from his speech:
Cite.

For the benefit of Trump supporters and other congenital idiots, USA Today dryly notes:

“There was no air travel in 18th Century America.”

and

“The battle at Fort McHenry that inspired Francis Scott Key to write ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ took place during the War of 1812, not the American Revolution.”

Isn’t the most important take-away from the speech that Trump believes there were airports during the Revolutionary War? How are the White House and Fox News going to spin this bit of idiocy? Teleprompter glitch?

Mike Mabes, so when Trump said “we” should remember our military history he meant to say “Donald Trump”, right?

They will pretend that Obama believes there are 57 states.
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

The best burn I’ve seen so far:

@Tea Pain

Trump’s parade was such a disappointment, he named it “Eric.”

[Ukulele_Ike]

Ah, I see. It was RAIN that led to the mishap.

Trump Blames Rain For His Comment About Airports In The Revolutionary War

Damn you, rain! You are our president’s NEMESIS.

Dulce and decorum est per orbitum nukem

Nitpick: Should be “… ex orbe nukem”.

Air Force fly past was a little bland, couple of raptors and a spirit. Would have liked to have seen 3 B-52’s, nothing like 3 acres of aluminum to show the world what urban renewal options exist.

:dubious: Because of course that’s what the Fourth of July holiday is all about, isn’t it?

[bobot]

Trump is claiming that the rain knocked out his teleprompter just at the moment that he got American history confused with a flight simulator. He also wants you to be reassured that he was quite familiar with “his” speech. So to paraphrase: “It wasn’t my fault, I’m a fucking moron.”
Also, remember when lying bastard hypocrite Republicans pretended that President Obama was the first President to use a teleprompter, and that it was bad. Or something?

[QuickSilver]

Was it just me or did that bullet proof shield around him look particularly thick? Probably it was the rain gave it that especially bunker like appearance.

Doesn’t compare to the chilling sight of the RCA Snowbirds, eh?

The Terrifying Tutors.

That’ll teach those bastards.

[Monty]

And Yahoo mocks Trump subtly:

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misstated details about the battle of Yorktown

[Snowboarder_Bo]

That article is not subtle; it’s more like gleeful.

[BobLibDem]

Son of a gun. Maybe they had flight attendants during the Revolution after all.

The only thing [del]worse[/del]better than a president who reads a teleprompter is one who can’t.

That is perfect.

It could work on the right model, but Kellyanne ain’t that.

Or when Sarah Palin said the same thing while reading from a teleprompter

[Snowboarder_Bo]

Sarah Palin didn’t need no teleprompter!
