Can't Trump Afford a Fact-Checker?

I had to put that together from a few sources, as different ones had different gaps.

Nobody bothered to tell Trump that there were no airports in the 1770s because the airplane wouldn't be invented for another 125 fucking years?

There's lots more snark about that on Twitter.

"Ramming the ramparts"? Isn't there a military attache who could have told CBS[1] that ramparts are on land and that it wasn't possible to "ram" them? Maybe Trump thinks that they could have used Sherman tanks.

I'm not sure if he thinks that the Battle of Ft. McHenry took place during the Revolutionary War or if he didn't mention that it was a different war.

Factually, it was a mess of a speech that was given by someone who is illiterate in history and who is proud of it.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear,
of the red-eye flight of Paul Revere.

When the Continental Army took over the airports.

When Fort 'McHendry' withstood the 38 year siege of the British and the flag still waved the next morning.

It's amazing to me how there are still those that follow and support this pompous, self-aggrandizing ego-maniac.

As ever, the mind reels at imagining what the right wing would have done if Obama had made this big of a fuckup.
