Flub in Trump speech
3
WASHINGTON: Airports? In the 1700s? A historical flub landed in President Donald Trump’s “Salute to America” speech on Thursday marking the US Independence Day holiday.
While praising the victories of the Continental Army over the British during the 1775-1783 war, Trump mentioned how that army “took over the airports”.
There were, of course, no airports in the 1770s, not to mention aeroplanes, which were not invented until the 1900s.

The man talks without thinking. And, he was given the reins to play with of the world's lone super-power.
