Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown has called Donald Trump’s story about a scary helicopter ride they allegedly shared “pure fiction.” Trump, during a recent speech, claimed that he and Brown once experienced a frightening helicopter incident, where they had to make an emergency landing, leaving them both shaken. Trump later insisted the story was true and even hinted at taking legal action.
However, Willie Brown, now 90 years old, stated that he has never been on a helicopter with Trump and wouldn’t want to, even if given the chance. He believes Trump might have confused him with Jerry Brown, California’s former governor.
Jerry Brown did share a helicopter ride with Trump in 2018 to survey wildfire damage, but both he and current Governor Gavin Newsom, who was also on the flight, confirmed there was no emergency or danger.
Trump’s story was prompted by a question about Willie Brown’s past relationship with Kamala Harris, which Trump suggested had influenced her career.
Willie Brown dismissed this claim as “unbelievable,” adding that he has always thought highly of Harris, describing her as a smart, successful, and beautiful woman.
Trump’s comments come at a time when a recent poll shows Kamala Harris leading Trump among likely voters.
This information, provided by BBC, sheds light on how Trump’s recollection of events and comments have stirred reactions from those involved.
