The tanks have arrived!

Tanks arrive in DC as Trump confirms July Fourth celebration will feature military display
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3761024/posts

POTUS: “So we have to put them in certain areas, but we have the brand new Sherman tanks and we have the brand new Abrams tanks.”

Me: What “brand new Sherman tanks”? AFAIK, the Sherman tank is obsolete. Has been for a looooong time. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. So I’m wondering now, what is POTUS up to? :-)

From Sean’s twitter thread on the Plum colored drinking fountain at the Pentagon that Sara Carter mentioned in her tweet.

Maybe he is talking about ‘restored’ when he refers to ‘brand new’.

Maybe something to do with Wendy Sherman, the former State Department official and top negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal.
IDK

Yes. The way he phrased that sentence was unusual regardless of the obsolescence issue. Odd he make a mistake like that - refer to a Sherman tank named after a Civil War military leader. WIki says re Sherman tanks:

“In service 1942–1957 (United States)”

Found this on Voat. I like it better than my guess earlier. Has to do with The Sherman Act.
