    “Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles.

    “I guess we all look alike,” Holden told POLITICO, letting out a loud laugh.

    He got the helicopter part right, but 'twas a different Black dude.

      Trump is either so racist that he cannot tell these men apart, or so senile that he has forgotten which of them is which.

    Anything and everything:

    Trump: I’ll sue! (For what, God only knows but he’ll do it!)

    Also Trump: Please send me money via text

      See: Hillary was right (again)

      It’s a long list

      She may not have been everyone’s favorite candidate but she sure had his number and saw the deplorable fascism coming

      Sounds like a congressional orgy.

      (Pretty sure it is a ramp)

        Trump struggles with ramps too. Not surprising they took the usual stairs away from him…

      Possibly. I’m going to be generous, though, and assume it might also be for loading equipment.

    “mechanical issues”.

    The way I heard it he owes the billings PD five figures of back fees from previous visits and owes the venue another five figures. He had to claim mechanical issues as cause for the delay because nobody was going to let him in the door or provide event security until he sorted his overdue bills.

    How could he possibly have records of something like that? Did the pilot land, get out and hand him a document attesting that the flight happened, who was aboard, and that an emergency landing was performed?

        I know, and it’s public information that we can look up, but it’s not like they give the passengers that information.

      Maybe his own notes, though I can’t see him writing anything down.

      There should be maintenance records at least. I’d be inclined to believe it if he offered even a shred of proof, but we all know he never will.

      He’s now come out and said he has the records but has not shown them lol:

        It’s getting even dumber. Trump now claims it happened in New Jersey many years ago. He has evidence. A picture from a book shows him and Willie Brown together and quotes Trump as saying “We actually had an emergency landing in a helicopter together.” The book was written in 2023 by Trump, well, by someone literate. But there is evidence that he believed this as far back as… last year.

        Nate Holden, a black California politician says he had a “turbulent helicopter ride” with Trump in New Jersey probably in 1990. Barbara Res, the Trump Organization’s former executive vice president of construction and development, thinks it was Nate Holden.

        https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-apparently-confuses-willie-brown-with-jerry-brown-helicopter-tale-2024-08-09/ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/former-trump-executive-disputes-claim-willie-brown-helicopter-rcna166083

        Of course, this whole thing absolutely does not matter at all. The whole story was just a way to say “someone who knew Harris said bad things about her” which also doesn’t matter even if it’s true. But it’s funny because he will waste so much time ranting about this non-story for the next three months and probably for the rest of his life.

      Trump has the best memory. Beautiful memory. Everyone says it.

      The recordings and logs are big liberal lies that those liar liar pants on fire ugly liberals say. Ugly liberals media. Not like Ivanka. Who is beautiful. Gorgeous Ivanka.

      It would be so ironic if he went down because he cheaped out on the maintenance of his plane.
