'Actually, in the middle of that sentence, it went out,' Trump told reporters on Friday, explaining his Revolutionary War airport blunder.
In his Independence Day address, President Donald Trump wrongly claimed that the Continental Army"took over the airports" during the Revolutionary War, more than 100 years before the advent of manned aircraft. When asked about the gaffe while departing the White House on Friday, Trump blamed the mistake on a teleprompter malfunction.
"I guess the rain knocked out the teleprompter, so it's not that, but I knew the speech very well, so I was able to do it without a teleprompter. But the teleprompter did go out. And it was actually hard to look at anyway because there was rain all over it," he said.
