    Are we really 100% sure there weren't airports during the revolutionary war or war of 1812?https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1146926375611318272 …

    Appearing to have some reading trouble, Trump said that the army "took over the airports" during a part of his speech about its actions in the 1700s and early 1800s, when there were not airports or airplanes. pic.twitter.com/fgr8rXBGnD

        Also the line about the "Rocket's Red Glare" at Fort McHenry refers to the War Of 1812 which Washington had nothing to do with since he was dead.

        Not during the Revolutionary War, but by the War of 1812, most definitely.
