Trump Blames Teleprompter For Idiotic 4th Of July Speech

During his Independence Day speech, Donald Trump said that US soldiers helped to defeat the British by taking the airports…in the 1700’s. Obviously airports didn’t exist back then, and Trump came across looking like a fool. But never one to accept the blame, he told reporters after the event that the teleprompter malfunctioned and that’s why he started saying stupid things. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Well, I know it's been a few days since Donald Trump's very bizarre, 4th of July, a speech during his salute to America with his tanks and his blue angels and all that nonsense. But we absolutely have to talk about what that man said during that speech. Here is exactly what Donald Trump said. He said,

"Our army manned the air. It rammed the ramparts. It took over the airports. It did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry under the rocket's red glare, it had nothing but victory."

Right after we took all those airports, right, it was at the big siege of Atlanta where we took over the massive Delta hub. Is that what it was? Well, of course Donald Trump has never one to admit that he made a mistake, which he obviously did. Seeing is how the air force and airplanes and therefore airports did not exist in the late 1700s. I mean, they were, you know, pipe dreams by crazy, uh, people from the renaissance. We never thought we would fly. So Donald Trump did what Donald Trump does best, and he came out on Friday, the day after this ridiculous speech, and he lied about what actually happened and here is what he said, here is who he blamed. We had a lot of rain. I stood in the rain, the teleprompter went out, it kept going on, and then at the end it just went out. It went caput actually right in the middle of that sentence, it went out. And that's not a good feeling. You're standing in front of millions of millions of people on television, and I don't know what the final count was, but that the crowd when all the way back to the Washington monument and you see what this idiot just in, first of all, he's like not teleprompter went out.

He said, well, yeah, I mean it actually went out in the middle of that particular sentence and you know, God, there's tons and tons of people watching this. Millions. And I mean, I could see him all the way as far back as the end of the mall, and I've already taken you off the topic, right? That is one of the powers that this man has about the only thing he does well, the Misdirection, the distraction that taking you down a rabbit hole so that you forget why you were even looking at the other rabbit hole in the first place. That is a gift. Not many people have that, but this man absolutely does, but it doesn't change the fact that he's also a complete moron. You know, maybe, maybe there was a teleprompter malfunction, but at the same time he also told us at the end I knew the speech very well, so that's why the teleprompter malfunctioning bother me and trust me, have done plenty of TV.
