1. Kitty Hawk is also like NORTHERN North Carolina...not even close to SC

What a fucking fumbling boob.

[anneboleyn]

4. Yes, exactly. I hope people are saying this on Twitter (I don't have an account) but this shit

drives North Carolinians crazy! He cares SO MUCH about his voters that he doesn't even know the difference b/n NC and SC -- and they do not like to be confused with each other.

[samnsara]

10. yep it is..

[grantcart]

2. Now what other event 157 years ago could we credit SC for?

[anneboleyn]

9. South Carolina in 1850...

[grantcart]

16. corrected it, not very good posting from phone

[Bernardo de La Paz]

51. 1850 + 157 2007

Is that what you mean?

I still have no idea what you are referring to, regardless of whether it was 1850, 1860, 2007 or 2017.

[grantcart]

66. 1860

[anneboleyn]

94. Me either! Bad at math!

[mobeau69]

67. SC: First in secession.

[RKP5637]

3. This damn fool named Trump is so fucken stupid, absolutely lame and DUH! n/t

[dalton99a]

5. Awesome.

[underpants]

8. Yeah it's right there on the plates.

[oasis]

6. Will Trump mention Boeing's plan to cut 8,000 jobs in 2017?

I think not.

[anneboleyn]

12. NOPE, just claimed that he saved "all the jobs"

[oasis]

31. Those idiot workers at Boeing voted to keep it non-union. So I

guess they subscribe to the deplorable, "I got mine" mentality.

[jmowreader]

60. ALL Southerners hate unions and claim to never want to belong to one

Which explains why the most coveted jobs in eastern North Carolina are at the completely-unionized Goodyear plant in Fayetteville.

[Maru Kitteh]

7. It looks like he took in the message about tooo much ME ME ME, I, I, I yesterday

he keeps correcting himself, "me, I mean we, not me I'm just the messenger . . "

Of course it's obvious, as always, he means himself. The only thing he has ever cared about, at all.

[anneboleyn]

14. Yes. It was so awkward - me...uh..uh..uh..we..uh..uh..me..me

[C_U_L8R]

11. So dumb. The dumbest.

The degree of dumbness in this dumb dumb of a President is absolutely dumb.

[Chiyo-chichi]

13. Someone told him in was in S. Carolina. He's seen that information around.

[anneboleyn]

23. Yeah, somebody handed him something that said something.

[sunonmars]

15. Did anyone just catch what he just said........

We will create jobs for the "loyal" people of the United states...........

meaning you have to be loyal to him to get a job......more disturbing by the day.....

[livetohike]

17. Did he ask if Frederick Douglas was in the house? I am

so sick of him and his ignorance.

[underpants]

18. I guess no one got him a map

He loves maps!

[Vinca]

19. OMFG. What a total dimwit.

[Eliot Rosewater]

20. EXCEPT THAT THE FIRST FLIGHT WAS IN KITTY HAWK, NORTH CAROLINA.

not anymore it wasnt

[anneboleyn]

21. Now CNN praising him yet not one mentions the massive misstep. They protect him even when

they spend some time pointing out the insane actions of his campaign/aides, etc.

[Maru Kitteh]

30. Before the speech and now they are pointing out that building a plane is complex & global

undertaking and how his ideas about tariffs could actually kill American jobs.

They're also talking about how lucky Trump is to follow Obama and inherit Obama's pro-growth and jobs economy.

[onenote]

88. That's because there was no mis-step. Well, not counting yours.

You really should trash this thread. Whatever you think you heard, you didn't hear. The video makes that clear.

[MrScorpio]

22. SMDH.

FDT.

[anneboleyn]

26. I heartily agree with you Mr. Scorpio

[Ilsa]

76. I think I know what

FDT is. I can certainly make up a three word phrase for that. But smdh has me lost. You can email me that if it isn't a publicly typeable phrase. Please, pretty please?

[MrScorpio]

79. Shaking My Damn Head. nt

[Ilsa]

81. Thank you! NT

[jimlup]

24. Someone must have told him this

For a rich guy he sure is naively untraveled. You'd of thought maybe once his family would have done the Outer Banks vacation but apparently not. I guess it isn't quite rich enough for his blood.

My take on the guy at this point is that he a spoiled 4 year old in a grown man's body. Nobody has EVER told him NO! And it shows.

[anneboleyn]

28. I don't think he likes traveling -- ironically, he is the biggest safe space baby I have ever seen

He clearly HATES being in the White House, and he runs off to mar-a-lago every single weekend so he can hide in his widdle castle.

[lapfog_1]

36. The white house simply doesn't have enough

gold plated fixtures and mirrors and stuff.

[Maru Kitteh]

40. Are you kidding? Where would he stay out there? Naggs Head? Buxton?

Not on your life.

Not enough gooooollllllldddd.

Oh! And most importantly - not enough people to crowd around him and tell him how wonderful he is.

[jmowreader]

64. If his family was going to vacation anywhere in NC, it would have been to Pinehurst

The Biltmore isn't quite up to the Trumps' high standards - after all, Cornelius Vanderbilt made his money in declassé ways, like railroads and steamships and not proper ways, like swindling and slumlording.

[0rganism]

25. alternative facts

gonna be a lot of history books that need re-writing in a couple years

[Else You Are Mad]

35. I have a feeling...

That the Texas school board is taking notes and will require history textbooks to confirm to Trump's view on history.

[Chiyo-chichi]

27. And Oklahomans should be proud of the brave stand Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie made at the Alamo.

[struggle4progress]

29. The Republicans' gerrymandering gets worse every day

[benld74]

38. Doozy!!!!

[flygal]

75. LOL

[Ilsa]

77. LOL. nt

[GallopingGhost]

32. He probably thinks

Orville Wright perfected popcorn.

[Else You Are Mad]

33. Fake News!!!!

This is why the media has such low ratings! Everyone knows the truth is what Trump says it is!

[njhoneybadger]

34. N.C. Claims Gustave Whitehead was first in 1901

[GallopingGhost]

37. In his defense, he spent

his college days fending off those swarms of women who couldn't keep their hands off him.

Who had time for all that pesky book larnin'?

[mainstreetonce]

39. I seem to remember him making this same mistake before

during a campaign speech.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

41. North, South, this is a FAKE distinction!

It's like the difference between Alabama and Mississippi, they're the SAME PLACE!

Just like VT and NH, no difference! Or NM and AZ.

The only distinction for Trump: NY, or not NY.

[gopiscrap]

42. what a fucking idiot

I swear to God sometimes I think we should have a civics test for elected officials

[DFW]

45. There is a good reason they don't have that

Unemployment would jump almost a full per cent overnight.

[DFW]

43. AHA! NOW I know who Trump is consulting for these speeches.

Dan Quayle!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the guy who loved New Mexico, noting that Phoenix was one of his favorite cities.

[Gamecock Lefty]

44. And . . .

the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter which is off the coast of Maine.

[Kensan]

53. I'm pretty sure that's where the phrase..

"Remember the Maine" came from, right? I could probably find something on the internet that backs this up.

[Orsino]

46. SC put a plane in the air and made North Carolina pay for it!

Sorry, haters, but that was a fantastic deal.

[yardwork]

69. Lol!

[JHB]

47. North Carolina, South Carolina, East Carolina, West Carolina...

...what does he care about where things are? It's not as if he's in a business where location is important, y'know!

[Ohioblue22]

48. was this clinton's fault as well?

[onenote]

49. In the clip I saw, he very specifically refers to North Carolina

as the location of the first Wright Brothers flight.

Did he say something else at another point in his remarks?

[njhoneybadger]

58. Does he know what state he is in?

[jberryhill]

87. Yeah, he says, "...next door, in North Carolina..."

[jmowreader]

65. He wasn't in North Carolina

[onenote]

70. He referred to "next door, in North Carolina"

I'm struggling to figure out where the story is here. I fear we're going to look stupid if he didn't say what people are saying he did.

(part about wright bros is at 2:54 mark).

[Bengus81]

50. Here's a pic of that "American" built Boeing airliner............

The final assembly for the Boeing 787 takes place at Boeings’ plant in Everett, Washington. The plant employs a mere 800 to 1,200 staff who are responsible for the final assembly of the major components of the aircraft. As with the Boeing 737, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner will have the construction of it’s major components contracted out to manufacturers around the globe.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

52. We're on the money.

[MineralMan]

54. Hey! All those Carolinas look alike to me.

[Charles Bukowski]

55. Trump may very well be the dumbest leader of a soveriegn nation

in all of human history. That is not hyperbole either.

[get the red out]

56. Dear God!

Doesn't anyone check the accuracy of his speeches? Or was he just flying blind?

[OldHippieChick]

62. My thoughts exactly. I cannot believe anyone would advise him to

just wing it out there. We all know how that turns out. And yet it appears whoever is doing the speechwriting is loyal, but stupid.

[Brother Buzz]

59. Wright bros, wrong state

You just know some editor will use that headline.

[red dog 1]

83. Good one!

[Bengus81]

61. He said NC in the repeat vid I watched. Where did he say SC??

[Native]

63. Whip Smart SCROTUS research team he's got there!

[yardwork]

68. That won't go over well in NC or in OH.

[onenote]

71. actually,we're the ones who risk looking bad here, since he didn't say what people are saying he did

I wish he had. I almost expected he would. But he didn't and I feel like we're being set up somehow to make an issue out of something where there is no issue.

Watch the video (at 2:54).

[Gothmog]

72. Trump is an idiot

[onenote]

89. Yes he is. But in this case, the folks claiming he said something he didn't aren't so bright either

Credibility is important when pointing out someone else's lies. And if we perpetrate easily debunked stories, like the claim Trump suggested the Wright Bros flight took place in SC when he clearly referred to NC, we lose an important element of our credibility.

[Bengus81]

73. WHERE DID TRUMP SAY SC IN REFERENCE TO THE WRIGHT BROS FLIGHT??

He didn't in the vid I watched so this post should be deleted...

[onenote]

74. I get why people would buy the idea he would make such a statement, but you're correct. He didn't

I don't know why the OP thinks they heard that but they didn't and this thread should be trashed before it misleads anyone else.

There's enough lies and BS from Trump -- we don't have to create it when it doesn't actually exist.

[anneboleyn]

90. Because he is in South Carolina?! Whatever, the admins can close the thread. I listened to the

entire speech, and Trump was praising the Wright brothers, etc speaking TO the people of South Carolina (including obviously the Boeing employees) present for his rally. To me it seemed completely bizarre and rather obvious that he had no idea that SC is not where the Wright brothers event took place.

[onenote]

95. You didn't listen very carefully then.

He simply was drawing the distinction between the first airplane (built of wood and cloth, flying for only a few seconds) and the modern jet liner behind him. And he was clear that the Wright Bros plane flight occurred "next door, in SC&quot . If we let our hate blind us to what Trump says, we're going to lose our credibility in pointing out his actual fuck-ups.

[treestar]

93. the trouble is just how believable it is!

it is easy to be fooled!

[mahannah]

78. He said NC re Wright brothers. Post should be removed.

[Soxfan58]

80. Totally get the caps

He brings them out of me as well.

[LisaM]

82. December 17, 1903!

My birthday happens to be December 17th and back in high school, we weren't allowed to have Christmas parties, so our science teacher (physics, chemistry) got around it by sending out for doughnuts and celebrating the first flight every year! I remember it so well because he asked if there were any science milestones we could celebrate!

[jberryhill]

84. "next door, in North Carolina"

You have the facts wrong on what he said.

[INdemo]

85. Fake news even back then..they got it all wrong in 1902

[James48]

91. FALSE

I just watched the Trump speech-

He did NOT say it was SOUTH CAROLINA- he said it was NEXT DOOR- IN NORTH CAROLINA.

See the clip here- about 59:24 of this clip-

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/17/515801924/watch-live-trump-visits-boeing-plant-in-south-carolina

[treestar]

92. OMG when are they going to get it?

Or is he doing this on purpose.
