Trump says it was everyone’s fault but his

UncleScoopy

Trump said Friday that a teleprompter was to blame for his claim that Revolutionary War soldiers “took over airports” in 1775.

Man, that Washington was an idiot. He could have just flown over the Delaware in comfort! I’ll bet the flight attendants would even have brought him a Diet Coke if he pressed the special button and played the Future Presidential card.

Many people have misinterpreted this. He did not get incorrect info from the teleprompter. What happened is that the teleprompter conked out and he ad-libbed from his recollection of the speech, which he had rehearsed. The errors came from the ad-libbed portion.

(I’m guessing that the original speech said “ports,” and he didn’t realize it was about seaports, but I’m just guessing there.)

Not only was he too dumb to know that there were no planes in the 18th century, but the real beauty of it is that he was so dumb that he didn’t realize his excuse actually made things worse by revealing that he was lost without a teleprompter and left with nothing but his own ignorance.

From the comments:

“Russia, if you are listening, I have a really great election meddling idea for you … teleprompter hacking. (Watch “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” for inspiration.) “

  1. Next time he’s out west, he’ll probably end with “Good night, San Diego, and go fuck yourselves.” It will turn out he didn’t use a prompter at all.

  2. An intelligent person would have had a “WTF” or “That doesn’t sound right” moment. No chance of that happening with the “Very Stable”.

    And what his excuse for the War of 1812 mashup? Maybe the original speechwriter got run over by one of the “Brand New Sherman Tanks” and they had to use an intern maybe.

  3. I wish someone entered “mattress” in front of “war” for Trump to read.

  4. Does anyone think there is any level of Trump stupidity (like this) that will get through to his supporters, and crack their support for him? Or to the Republican Party leadership, and end their bootlicking?

    And Dennis: who is to say that the teleprompter hacking has not already started, and this is an example of it?

    2. No. He did not read that from the teleprompter. According to him, everything in the telepromoter was correct, but it conked out in the middle of that sentence and he had to wing it from his memory of the speech (which he had rehearsed) and his own … er … knowledge.

      Thus, he imagined 19th century airports and Fort McHenry in the wrong war.

      According to Fox News, those errors came in the part he ad-libbed.

      It’s really amazing just how dumb he is.

      I am assuming that the original speech said either “ports” or “seaports,” either of which would have made sense, and he was just slightly off in his recollection. I think the vast majority of Americans over the age of 10 would realize that there were no airports in the Revolutionary War, and would therefore have been able to avoid that error, but The Donald is not among the vast majority.

    3. Sorry Roger, you’re dealing with supporters that are on this level:

      Apparently Obama was on vacation during 9-11.

      Surprised Obama wasn’t blamed for the lax border security of 1812 either.

      Why have facts when you can just make up a story in your own mind, and then isolate yourself with the rest of the nutjobs?

      That’s why I say, you’re not dealing with supporters or conservatives here. You’re dealing with a cult. You have to talk to these people like you would talk to one of L Rob Hubbard’s Scientology zombies.

      1. I suppose you are right, Indy, but it is stunning to me that so many Americans are so eager to be deluded and so filled with hate. This was not how America saw itself (or its future) when I was growing up. (I’m a baby boomer.)

  5. Russia, if you are listening, I have a really great election meddling idea for you…teleprompter hacking (Watch “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” for inspiration)
