Trump Says He Thought 'End' Was Near In Helicopter Emergency. Dems Say He's Oh So 'Wrong.'

Trump claimed his helicopter ride with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown started to go down and required an impromptu landing.
Donald Trump pushed a story about an “emergency” helicopter landing that several Democrats swiftly shut down following the former president’s wild, false claim-laden press conference on Thursday.
The Republican nominee, when asked about Vice President Kamala Harris’ past relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, said he knew Brown “very well” before launching into a story about going “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,” claimed Trump as he spoke to reporters in the rambling presser at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
He continued, “This was not a pleasant landing and Willie was, he was a little concerned. So I know him, I know him pretty well. I mean, I haven’t seen him in years.”
Brown, a longtime top Democrat in California, was once on a helicopter without Trump when it made a “harrowing emergency landing” in 2004.
