WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump cracked a joke during his visit to an Ohio army tank plant on Wednesday, telling a crowd that he would have gotten into one of the tanks on showcase behind him if it wasn’t for former presidential contender Michael Dukakis.
“I want to get into them, but then I remember when a man named Dukakis got into a tank,” Trump said, drawing laughter from the crowd. “And I remember he tanked when he got into the tank. I’ve never saw anyone tank like that.”
What turned out to be one of the biggest political blunders in modern times sunk Dukakis, a Democrat serving as the governor of Massachusetts, in the 1988 presidential race against George H. W. Bush.
