During yesterday afternoon’s hastily called “press conference”, during which drumpf lied oh, I don’t know, perhaps a bajillion times, the biggest and least believable whopper was his story about taking a helicopter ride with ex- San Fransisco mayor Willie Brown whom, in Trump’s dementia racked mind, chose the precise moment they were hurtling from the sky in the doomed whirlybird to dish some dirt on his one time gal pal Kamala Harris. Not only does this story not jibe with everything we have observed about Brown, who has always been a class act and would never trash talk a woman to the likes of Trump – let alone in a helicopter falling from the sky – it also in no way comports with reality according to Willie:
“Former president Donald Trump related a dramatic story of a near-death experience he said he shared with Willie Brown, a former mayor of San Francisco, during a Thursday news conference.
“I know Willie Brown very well,” Trump said. “In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him. We thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing.”
But Brown told local news station KRON4 that the story was “what Donald does best,” which was “his creativity — fictional,” adding that he had never done business with the former president and wouldn’t want to be in a helicopter with him.
During the news conference Trump also claimed that Brown, an influential Democrat who was also the longtime speaker of the California State Assembly, said “terrible things” about Vice President Kamala Harris. He did not say when the helicopter ride occurred. Harris and Brown dated more than 25 years ago, which has been highlighted by opponents suggesting she improperly benefited from his influence on her career (he appointed her to two state boards) — a claim Brown has rejected and that has been criticized as sexist.
When asked about the vice president, Brown told KRON4 he “could not envision thinking of Kamala Harris in any negative way” and that she was a good friend.“
Well, I guess that clears that up, Willie wouldn’t be caught alive or dead with Trump in a chopper and would not bad mouth an ex-squeeze – gentleman that he is.
San Francisco bureau chief for the New York Times Heather Knight fills in the rest of this fabulous flight of farcical fantasy… Trump’s mixing up of Willie Brown and former California Governor Jerry Brown… in her Twitter timeline:
I was told recently that making up events and botching names was a sign of mental decline. Is that still true?

Yes
It was actually Charlie Brown, no Buster Brown, Encyclopedia Brown?

I thought it sounded familiar…
Helicopter ride with the other Mr Brown? Grandpa T-Bone befuddles himself.

Yup
I swear, I thought he said Willy Brandt.

Almost more believable.
Brain doc here. Trump showed textbook confabulation: symptom of his cognitive impairment.

💯
At least the tall tale ended there before drumpf confabulated his flight companion into the hardest working man in show business or, worse even, Kobe Bryant.
As long as reporters allow this miscreant to stand there and straight up lie to them with no pushback these whoppers will just continue to get bigger.
To be fair, Brown is a very common name.
And Trump IS a liar.
HERE IS MAN IT WAS… NATE HOLDEN and he corrected story yesterday he is a VERY SHARP 95 yo. now.

This could get much more fun. If pushed on this (journalists won’t press him directly – they don’t have the guts but it might stay in the news) Trump won’t back down. He’ll double down. He’ll talk of “people” also in the chopper will back him up. AND he’ll try to play humble. He’ll say he hadn’t wanted to brag, but since Wille or rather ‘lying Wille’ was terrified and bawling like a baby. But HE (Trump) “saved them all” by leaping from his seat, and yanking the pilot out of his. “I was stronger than Superman” as I “flunged” him so hard he got knocked out when he hit the back of the helicopter. Trump will talk about hopping into the pilot’s seat and in only a couple of seconds instantly knew how to stabilize things enough for him to quickly look at a manual, then rip off and access panel and reach in to with his bare hand reconfigure the wiring so that he could bring the chopper to a nice, soft landing. Others on it, and “people” who happened to witness it say they’ve never seen a smoother and softer landing. Big, strong men who’d flown helicopters in combat and for a career came up with tears in their eyes praising how skillfully Trump had saved not just his fellow passengers but people on the ground who would have been killed had HE not taken over! Trump will say to just ask the guys who fly Marine One. Every one of them will say with him on board they were never afraid to fly no matter what the conditions knowing that if things got bad they had President Trump on board to save the day!
Oh, and that day he said the weather was too bad for Marine One to fly him up to Aisne Marne to honor the dead of the Battle of ‘Belly-U-ee” Wood “Ok. you got me. The truth is I had a collection of really hot French supermodels all begging me to screw them. What President would refuse that kind of fun to go stand in some cemetery to talk about a bunch of losers who were suckers to be there fighting in the first place and were lousy enough at their job they wound up getting killed?
C’mon Willile. Taunt Trump to get him worked up. Say you’d never have flown on a chopper with him because it was common knowledge even then his body was so stinky you’d have never let yourself get cooped up with him in a confined space!
What’s the joke about Trump, a girl scout, her mother, and the pilot being on a plane with only three parachutes. The plane is in trouble going down when they realize they are short one parachute. Trump, being Trump, grabs a bag and jumps to save himself. The mother asked her daughter if she was willing to save herself. She told her mother not to worry since that fat man went out of the plane with her backpack.
Remember, back in like 2016, he thought Frederick Douglass was still living?
It was Charlie Brown he was with – and Snoopy was the pilot
… when asked el gran supremo chef Robert said it was outstanding and reassuring 💩-45 didn’t see the difference between Jerry and Willie!….
“A few aspects don’t hold up to.scrutiny”?
What drugs were these reporters on? None of it was true. He was in a helicopter with Jerry Brown. No crash or emergency rescue. Jerry Brown, not Willie Brown. No nasty stories about Kamala.
Confab I lagoon as a,symptom of dementia or just Trump doing what he does best, which is lying about anyone who doesn’t get on their knees to.give hom.a b**wjob..
