During the rain-soaked event, Trump avoided partisan politics, and instead focused on glorifying the US military occasionally in completely and amusingly ahistorical ways.

At one point Trump, struggling to read his speech, claimed that the US military took over the airports during the Revolutionary War, which of course took place well over a century before airplanes were even invented.

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, before things went off the rails. Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets red glare, had nothing but victory. When dawn came, the star-spangled banner waved defiant.

Remember when W would say stupid shit that was like average person stupid shit? Like make you go I could have a beer with this guy!

This idiot is not like that at all

i bet Trump wouldn't ask how many a brazilian is though

That's how Perseus was conceived, right?

Everyone laughs at the airports bit, but nobody notices that Fort McHenry and the rockets red glare was the War of 1812 and had nothing whatsoever to do with independence or the Fourth of July.

And there's still people who think Andrew Jackson's victory at the Battle of New Orleans had an impact on the terms of the peace treaty that had been signed two weeks prior to it.

On a different note, did you hear Trump thank someone named Tina Belcher for her hurricane relief work? That does appear to be her real name, but it was funny to hear.
