Trump’s tall tale of an emergency landing with Willie Brown [PANTS ON FIRE!]
(www.politifact.com)
Donald Trump stated on August 8, 2024 in a press conference: “I went down in a helicopter with (Willie Brown). We thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing.”
Did he claim to survive a helicopter crash? Because AFAIK, when a helicopter crashes, you generally either land in a coffin (more often) or a wheelchair (less often).
It depends what went wrong, like for a simple engine failure, I've heard you have a little bit of time to get onto the ground before the rotors stop providing enough lift. But in this case, I doubt the helicopter even existed.
It really does but if you tell people you "Went down in a helicopter" they're not thinking you made a safe landing. Now if he had the humility to say "I had a helicopter malfunction on me" or something like that it could be understandable. But we're talking the most fragile narcissist imaginable, he's got to be remarkable in everything.
