The Battle of Gettysburg was a key battle during the US Civil war, and occurred just before the July 4th holiday, 1863.
The North won, and it was largely considered to be the turning point of the war.
What I think this meme is pointing and laughing at is that President Lincoln gave one of the most important speeches of his, or, frankly any Presidents career, four months later.
It sounds like he wanted to say something profound about the battle of Gettysburg, but realized that he didn’t know shit about it, so he just started blathering.
It’s the fact that he’s confused and talking in circles.
In fact, I would bet that this transcription has been cleaned up, and that he was unable to say “Gettysburg” correctly. He was probably saying something like, “Gettish-bur” because he has dementia.
Could someone explain the meme to non US netizens? Wikipedia tells me there was a battle alright. Or is it just his generally poor language?

Whereas Trump babbles like a moron with little comprenshion of what he’s saying or trying to say.
So horrible in so many ways

Which is his normal approach to giving speeches.
