Even though Brown denies the incident ever occurred, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump maintained on Friday that he was involved in a fantasy yarn about nearly dying in a helicopter crash with former San Francisco mayor Willie.
At a news conference covering a range of issues on Thursday, Trump told the story of his near-helicopter disaster with Willie Brown, who dated Democratic presidential contender Kamala Harris for a short time in the past. I had a helicopter drop me off…
Trump also claimed that Brown had shared negative information about Kamala Harris. Brown, a prominent Democrat, denied ever flying in a helicopter with Trump and dismissed the allegations.
Trump later reiterated his story on Truth Social, asserting the incident occurred in New Jersey, but provided no evidence to support his claims.
Despite the lack of corroboration, Trump’s narrative gained traction among his supporters, fueling further speculation and debate on social media. Critics argue that this is yet another example of Trump’s tendency to embellish or fabricate stories to bolster his image or discredit his opponents. Meanwhile, Brown continues to stand firm, labeling Trump’s account as pure fiction, while Harris’s campaign remains focused on her political platform, dismissing the incident as a distraction from more pressing issues.
