Shabibilicious Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Newsoriginalsstream Trump blames rain and teleprompter for his July 4 speech gaffe Dylan Stableford Senior Editor , Yahoo News•July 5, 2019 9,683 Comments President Trump on Friday blamed inclement weather and a malfunctioning teleprompter for flubbing part of his Independence Day speech. During the rain-soaked “Salute to America” event, Trump made a reference to nonexistent airports during the American Revolution, a comment he walked back a day later. “We had a lot of rain,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn. “I stood in the rain. The teleprompter went out. The teleprompter kept going out and then at the end it just went out. It went kaput.” In his July 4 speech, the president recalled the creation of the Army by the Continental Congress in 1775. President Trump speaks during an Independence Day celebration in front of the Lincoln Memorial. (Photo: Alex Brandon/AP) “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,” Trump said. “Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do.” There was no air travel during the Revolutionary War. Wilbur and Orville Wright invented and flew the first airplane in 1903. Trump said the teleprompter malfunctioned during his prepared remarks, resulting in the mistake. “Actually right in the middle of that sentence it went out,” he said Friday. “And that’s not a good feeling.” Photo: Carolyn Kaster/AP Trump continued: “When you’re standing in front of millions and millions of people on television and — I don’t know what the final count was, but that went all the way back to the Washington Monument. And I guess the rain knocked out the teleprompter.” Still, Trump insisted he “knew the speech very well.” “So I was able to do it without a teleprompter,” he said. “So the teleprompter did go out. And it was actually hard to look at anyway because there was rain all over it.” https://news.yahoo.com/trump-blames-rain-and-teleprompter-july-4-airport-speech-gaffe-160954881.html Reminds me of this other teleprompter reading genius with incredible focus and the best words.

bostonangler Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Of course he couldn't just admit he made a simple misstatement, that would be too much for his bloated ego to handle. B/A 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B/A You do know Donald believes airports existed in 1776 and they were in desperate need of updating.....When the French Navy flew in to help out they commented on how much nicer airports in France were.

nstoolman1 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 The real point is that even if he admitted to the mistake, Every Never Trumper, I Hate Trump person and MSM would still find a reason to mock him. He will never win so why admit a mistake when the rain of hate and mockery falls the same. These people are the same ones who hate the pilot on a plane at 10,000 feet and in spite of him flying the plane, that they are on, want him to die. Real smart. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitcher Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 It was a terrible blunder nothing else. No excuses, he messed up. I’m sure he meant to say ports not airports. It happens to every public speaker, just like Barry and the 57 States of the US. It’s no big deal. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep he should have added territories when he spouted off 57.....in fact reminders of that gaffe still come up from time to time, as we have just seen.

nstoolman1 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 No, what is shamefull is the deep seeded hate for a person who is human. Whoever is without sin cast the first stone. Sounds familiar. And you obviously did not get the analogy. The USA is the plane. Trump is the Pilot. The citizens are the passengers. A few of the passengers hate the pilot so much they want him to die which will cause the plane to crash killing the entire load of passengers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you really get on a plane Trump is piloting?.....the man can't even drive a car. And by the way, Do you really not think Americans referring to former First Lady Michelle Obama as a man is shameful?

And in your analogy it's actually the popular majority of the passengers who dislike the pilot....of course, they would prefer he land the plane and get fired, i.e. duly beaten in an election.

nstoolman1 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 You still won't, or don't get it. We are all on the plane/country. I could care less if she is a man or a woman. People are entitled to an opinion even if it is a moronic one. I think it is shameful the way she disrespected America with her comments through the years. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
