Rare Color D-Day Footage
Donald Trumps D-Day memorial tweet gets an F.
The presumptive GOP nominee tried honoring the invasions 72nd anniversary Monday in a tweet and somehow chose a picture that isnt even from D-Day.
Remembering the fallen heroes on #DDay June 6, 1944, the billionaire buffoon wrote with a picture of soldiers running on a beach.
The photo was captioned: D-Day June 6, 1944.

But it is not from D-Day, or even from 1944.
Getty Images, which licensed the photo, said it was from a training exercise for D-Day in 1943.
For good measure, the photos caption clearly states: Troops coming ashore during training exercises for the Allied D-Day invasion.
Trump, as per usual, never acknowledged the blunder.
Donald Trump caught creeping on ex-wife in Cinco de Mayo tweet
Earlier in the day, Trumps Twitter account showed equal dishonor to basic grammar. In a tweet responding to damning reports about his barebones campaign, Trump dropped this gem: I am getting bad marks from certain pundits because I have a small campaign staff. But small is good, flexible, save money and number one!
The Donalds D-Day doozy came a week after he finally broke down the $6 million he donated to veterans groups in a press conference he largely devoted to hating on the press.
At the presser, Trump deemed himself the only person in the world who could raise almost $6 million for the veterans, have uniform applause by the veterans group and end up getting criticized by the press.
Trumps own military record is nearly nonexistent. Despite earning medals at the New York Military Academy, he repeatedly dodged the Vietnam Draft and eventually earned a medical deferment for bone spurs in his foot.
