Standing at the podium
He stood so tall and proud His smile spread across his face And his voice boomed bold and loud The jets flew ‘cross the sky The rain began to pour He started to tell stories Of the Revolutionary War.

Oh wait, but there is more! “It took over the airports” But planes had yet to be. It seems our brilliant President Should retake History. At a recent rally, Trump began to reflect upon the Revolutionary War and how we "took over the airports" as well as referencing Fort McHenry's rockets, which were from a different war. (Revolutionary war was in 1775....airplanes invented in 1903). https://time.com/5620936/donald-trump-revolutionary-war-airports/
