Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown says Donald Trump’s claim that they shared a near-death experience “never happened.”
Republican presidential candidate Trump told reporters at a news conference at Mar-A-Lago that he and Brown were in a helicopter that was forced to make an emergency landing and both men thought this “might be the end.”
However, according to Brown, he and Trump had never ridden on the same helicopter and instead he was doing his best “creative fiction.”
“I’ve never done business with Donald Trump, let’s start with that,” Brown said. Crown 4.
“And secondly, I don’t think I would want to be on the same helicopter as him. There are too many people who have interests related to him, including people who are involved in helicopter maintenance!”
Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, pictured, claimed he and Donald Trump never had a near-death experience together.
Trump told reporters at a news conference at Mar-A-Lago that he and Brown were in a helicopter that was forced to make an emergency landing.
“I was doing what Donald does best, his creative fiction. He’s creative, very creative. It’s so crazy it’s unbelievable.”
He went on to say that the world “would have heard about it” if it had happened.
Speaking about Kamala Harris, Brown also added: “I was a part of every campaign she was on, I supported her religiously and I still will, and I’m looking forward to the next 89 days.”
Yesterday, Trump renewed his attacks on Harris’ racial identity, saying at a press conference that the burden of explaining it fell on her.
At his hour-long news conference Thursday, Trump was asked how he could have said the Democratic presidential nominee “turned black,” a comment he made during a controversial interview at a Black Journalists Association event.
One reporter noted that Harris’s father is Jamaican-American and that she attended a historically black college (Howard University), and questioned why it was correct to say that she had only recently decided to be black (her mother is an immigrant from India who came to the United States).

“Well, well, you’re going to have to ask her that question because she was the one who said it. I didn’t say it,” Trump began. “So you’re going to have to ask her. And I very much appreciate that question. But you’re going to have to ask her.”
He then continued to hammer home the point, mentioning his own $6,000 campaign donations he made to her personally when she was California attorney general.
“But I’ve known her for a long time. I actually collaborated on her campaign a long time ago, because I was a developer.
“I contributed to a lot of Democratic and Republican campaigns, some were liberal and some were conservative,” Trump said, before doubling down on his criticism of his opponent.
