“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” Luke 16:10 “Former President Donald J. Trump told a jaw-dropping story on Thursday about nearly dying in a helicopter ride with Willie Brown, the former California politician and ex-boyfriend of his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. There was only one problem with the story. Or maybe two. Or maybe three. It wasn’t the famous former San Francisco mayor on the helicopter flight at all. It was Gov. Jerry Brown, the former governor of California, who bears little resemblance to Willie Brown. There was also no emergency landing, and the helicopter’s passengers were never in any danger at all, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who was also on the flight. Jerry Brown, who left office in January 2019, said through a spokesman, “There was no emergency landing and no discussion of Kamala Harris. call complete B.S.,” Mr. Newsom said, laughing out loud. Mr. Trump’s errant account, delivered during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, came in response to a reporter who asked a leading question about Ms. Harris’s past relationship with Willie Brown, and whether Mr. Trump thought it might have had something to do with her career trajectory. The two dated in 1994 and 1995, while she was a prosecutor in Alameda County, which includes Oakland, and he was the speaker of the California State Assembly, and he appointed her to two state boards. He was — and still is — married to Blanche Brown, but they have long lived separate lives. “Well, I know Willie Brown very well,” Mr. Trump responded. “In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him.” He went on to tell a cinematic tale of a close call with death — and of politically advantageous gossip on death’s door: “We thought maybe this was the end,” Mr. Trump said. “We were in a helicopter, going to a certain location together, and there was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing. And Willie was — he was a little concerned,” Mr. Trump continued. “So I know him, but I know him pretty well. I mean, I haven’t seen him in years. But he told me terrible things about her. But this is what you’re telling me, anyway, I guess. But he had a big part in what happened with Kamala. But he — he, I don’t know, maybe he’s changed his tune. But he — he was not a fan of hers very much, at that point.” Open modal at item 1of 2 Open modal at item 2of 2 Both Jerry Brown, left, and Willie Brown, refuted Mr. Trump's story of a helicopter ride gone wrong. Reached on his cellphone just after Mr. Trump’s news conference — at his regular lunch spot at Sam’s Grill in downtown San Francisco — Mr. Brown, 90, said the whole story was false. He had never ridden in a helicopter with Mr. Trump, he said. He had never nearly perished in any helicopter ride. And he remained an avid supporter of Ms. Harris’s. Mr. Brown, who loves regaling anybody who will listen with stories and who penned a weekly column in The San Francisco Chronicle until 2021, added, laughing: “You know me well enough to know that if I almost went down in a helicopter with anybody, you would have heard about it!…” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/us/politics/trump-helicopter-willie-brown.html
Plane crash attempt, hydraulic leak, another attempt. Trump should get a food tester, they're not stopping. Rino's can't wait to sweep it all under the rug.
Remembering that Trump suggested Pan Am's flights were unsafe, that the company was strapped for cash and couldn't spend as much to maintain planes as Trump Shuttle. And then his flying gold toilet in the sky had to land without a nose wheel and went out of business.
Trump Claims He Has Helicopter Trip Records and Threatens to Sue Former President Donald J. Trump insisted that he was in a dangerous helicopter landing, though the man he said he was with said it never happened. Former President Donald J. Trump on Friday afternoon vehemently maintained that he had once been in a dangerous helicopter landing with Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco, and insisted he had records to prove it, despite Mr. Brown’s denial. In an angry phone call to a New York Times reporter as he landed several hours away from his planned rally in Bozeman, Mont., because of a mechanical issue on his plane, Mr. Trump excoriated The Times for its coverage of his meandering news conference on Thursday at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and home, during which he told of an emergency landing during a helicopter trip that he said both he and Mr. Brown had made together. Mr. Trump was expected to keep his rally schedule on Friday as planned, boarding a smaller plane to complete the journey. Mr. Brown denied on Thursday that he had ever flown in a helicopter with Mr. Trump. It appeared Mr. Trump may have confused Willie Brown with Jerry Brown, the former governor of California, with whom Mr. Trump traveled by helicopter in 2018 while surveying wildfire damage in the state. But Jerry Brown, who left office in January 2019, said through a spokesman, “There was no emergency landing and no discussion of Kamala Harris.” NYT Maggie Haberman” How can we believe anything a pathological liar says?
Report shows this wasn't the first time Trump fabricated a near-death helicopter crash https://www.rawstory.com/report-sho...ime-trump-fabricated-a-near-helicopter-crash/
Yeah? Just like Hillary Clinton claimed she landed in a helicopter in Bosnia under sniper fire? Proven false, but, liberal media protected that lie or conveniently, buried it totally. The biggest liars are on the left but, their buddies in media bury those lies or try to spin it when exposed as mere lies!
In some updated news... Former California lawmaker Nate Holden says he was on the scary helicopter ride with Trump https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/10/politics/trump-helicopter-story-nate-holden/index.html Former Los Angeles city councilman and California state Sen. Nate Holden said Friday that he was with former President Donald Trump in the helicopter ride that made an emergency landing, despite Trump saying it was former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. “Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said in an interview with Politico late Friday. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles.” “I guess we all look alike,” he added. Trump told reporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Thursday that he was involved in a helicopter emergency landing with Brown, who has since rejected Trump’s account as “obviously wrong” during a phone call with CNN. “I’ve never been in a helicopter with him in my life,” Brown said. Thursday wasn’t the first time Trump referenced the incident as something he’d experienced with Brown. In a book, “Letters to Trump,” the former president recalled the event as “a little scary for both of us.” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pointed that out on Saturday in a post on X. Holden said that he was in touch with Trump’s team in the 1990s as Trump was trying to build on the site of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, in the district that Holden represented at the time, according to Politico. Holden recalled meeting with Trump at Trump Tower before departing for Atlantic City, New Jersey, where they were planning to tour Trump’s since-closed Taj Mahal casino. Also aboard was Barbara Res, Trump’s former executive vice president of construction, who told Politico that the man on the helicopter was definitely Holden. Res recounted the experience in her book “All Alone on the 68th Floor,” where she said the helicopter landed safely in New Jersey after the pilot said they would need to make an emergency landing. She recalled Trump joking about Holden being scared on the flight, with Holden noting to Politico that it was Trump who was “scared sh*tless.”
Trump just gets more and more weird. Dipstick is sticking to his story that he was on a helicopter on the west coast with Willie Brown and Gavin Newsom discussing Kamala Harris which nearly crashed. "Probably going to sue”: Trump threatens New York Times over bizarre helicopter story https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...elicopter-story/ar-AA1ozyVR?ocid=BingNewsSerp Former President Donald Trump is threatening to sue the New York Times for a helicopter-related fact-check and doubling down on his bizarre and disprovable claim at a Thursday press conference that he had almost died in a near-crash with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. The tall tale, first told in the rambling press conference when a reporter asked Trump a question implying Vice President Kamala Harris’ career was boosted by a relationship with Brown, was immediately disproven by a New York Times analysis, which concluded that Trump was talking about Jerry Brown, the former Governor of California, not Willie Brown. Moreso, the trip Trump was seemingly referencing went without a hitch, California Governor Gavin Newsom, who was also a passenger, said. But this set of events seemingly isn’t sitting right with the presidential candidate. Per the New York Times, Trump phoned in to express his grievances with the exposé. “We have the flight records of the helicopter,” Trump told the Times, claiming that he and Willie Brown had landed “in a field.” Trump also shouted that he is “probably going to sue” over the Times article. Asked to produce the records, the 78-year-old reportedly responded “mockingly, repeating the request in a sing-song voice.” Trump, who survived a much more extensively documented brush with aeronautics issues on Friday evening ahead of a Montana rally, was dismissed directly by Brown, who told the Times on Thursday that he didn’t recall such an incident. “You know me well enough to know that if I almost went down in a helicopter with anybody, you would have heard about it!” the former mayor said.
