Donald Trump has been off the campaign trail the past week, leaving Senator J.D.
Vance, his vice-presidential pick, to do much of the battleground state-to-state visiting.
But Trump did hold a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, which lasted over an hour.
Here’s what Trump said about knowing Brown: “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.
Brown was asked about the helicopter story and declared that none of it was true.
Not only was there no near-crash, the two have never even been in a helicopter together.
However, even with the right politician, Trump’s account still doesn’t seem to hold up.
“I call complete B.S.,” Newsom toldThe New York Times.
Though he said that Trump did bring up the topic of the helicopter going down more than once.
Trump critics on social media quickly picked up on the Willie/Jerry mixup.
For some, they think Trump should produce flight records to back up his claim.
He has said this is intentional to make a point.
What that point is in the case of Willie and Jerry, we’re not 100% sure yet.
