Donald Trump’s claim that there were no planes in his father’s day is yet another mind-boggling classic for the Trump Fake History archive
Somebody should make a comedy series based on whatever passes for history in the mind of Donald Trump. It’d be like Drunk History, but the ‘comedian’ chatting nonsense would be stone-cold sober and have no excuse.
Sometimes, his revisionism is clearly just to make himself look better.
Trump claims without evidence to an audience that includes 9/11 first responders: "I was down there [at Ground Zero] also, but I'm not considering myself a first responder, but I was down there. I spent a lot of time down there with you."

At other times, your guess is as good as ours.
President @realDonaldTrump just wrapped up a joint press conference with President Mattarella of Italy.

Kind of makes this year’s celebration of 250 years of the existence of the US look a bit underwhelming.
On Monday, at a rally in Michigan, Trump claimed his dad didn’t want planes because ‘they didn’t have planes in those days’, and we can only wonder how old he thought his dad actually was.
BREAKING: Trump claims that airplanes didn't exist when his father was alive. Fred Trump was born in 1905 and died in 1999.

A “super high IQ” genius just told Michigan that planes didn’t exist when his own father was alive.
Fred Trump: 1905–1999.
Wright brothers flew in 1903.
Commercial jets and airlines all happened on Fred’s watch.Yet his son stood in front of auto workers and said:

His brother Fred was an airline pilot for TWA and his father and Donald shamed Fred over choosing that career over the families real estate business. They called him a "glorified bus driver."

All I am going to say is that Joe Biden would be eaten alive, by the conservative media, for claiming that planes did not exist between 1905 and 1999. https://t.co/uX3JMMRV62

Ah yes, Trump’s latest history lesson: airplanes were apparently a modern miracle that somehow skipped his father’s entire lifetime (1905–1999).
Wright brothers? Never existed. Commercial jets? Pure science fiction.

It’s an odd mistake to make when you consider that he thought there were airports during the 1770s.
However, in the 1770s, Americans took over the airports from the British, according to Trump: "Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Ft McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory" https://t.co/0WakkKiX0D
