Trump bizarrely claims the army retook the airports from the British during Revolutionary war

President Donald Trump appeared to stumble while reading his Fourth of July rally speech Thursday. When talking about the Revolutionary War, he talked about the successes of the U.S. Army closing the airports.

“In June of 1775 the Continental Congress created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around Boston and New York, and named after the great George Washington, commander in chief,” Trump read in his speech. “The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis at Yorktown. Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do and at Ft. McHenry under the rocket’s red glare had nothing but victory. When dawn came, the star-spangled banner waved defiant.”

Trump didn’t deviate from his prepared remarks so it’s unclear if that was in the prepared remarks or if he lost his place on the teleprompter.

Obama celebrates July 4: 'A great day in the Obama family'

As the nation celebrates America's 243rd birthday, the former first family is celebrating another: Malia Obama's 21st birthday.

Former President Obama tweeted Thursday morning to mark the family's, and nation's, special day.

Obama's eldest daughter spent eight birthdays in the White House, and was just 10 years old when her father was first elected to the presidency.

After interning for television studios, Malia Obama started college at Harvard University, where she just finished up her second year.

Others joined in wishing Malia Obama a happy birthday, with the hashtags #HappyBirthdayMalia and #MaliaObamaDay.
