New Sherman Tanks? Trump Brags Parade Will Feature Them, Though They Were Discontinued in 1957

According to the Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey, the President claimed, “And we’re gonna have some tanks stationed outside… So we have to put them in certain areas but we have the brand new Sherman tanks and we have the brand new Abram tanks.”

Greg Miller, also from the Post, pointed out that Trump was mistaken. He wrote on Twitter, “Trump says July 4 celebration will have “brand new Sherman tanks. Sherman tanks haven’t been in service since 1957.”

5. That's what I think, too. She's playing the Nancy Reagan role, keeping him from wandering off.

Take a whole squad of those SHERMAN tanks with you on your campaign rallies in the deep SOUTH ! Your supporters in Georgia will especially love on 'em.
