Trump Claims He Has Helicopter Trip Records and Threatens to Sue
BILLINGS, Mont. – Amid A Maelstrom of Controversy Surrounding A Historic Journey
In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald J. Trump recently affirmed that he was involved in a precarious helicopter journey with Willie Brown, the previous mayor of San Francisco, and avowed to have documentation to substantiate his assertions. This came in despite Mr. Brown vehemently denying the incident.
In An Aggressive Retort
During an acrimonious phone call to a journalist, Mr. Trump was stern in his objections to The Times for the representation of his wide-ranging news conference that occurred the previous day. At this gathering, he narrated the memorable tale of an emergency helicopter landing he alleged to have shared with Mr. Brown. He further claimed that these events unfolded as he was about to land a significant distance away from the intended rally location due to mechanical issues with his aircraft.
Planned Rally Continues Despite Controversy
Barring the aforementioned incongruity, Mr. Trump was still bound to carry on with his planned rally on the following day, with intentions to board a smaller aircraft to pursue his journey.
Confusion Over Brown Identity?
The potential for a mistaken identity has surrounded the controversy, as it is suggested that Mr. Trump may have mixed up Willie Brown with Jerry Brown, erstwhile governor of California. Mr. Trump did accompany Jerry Brown on a helicopter trip in 2018 when they were surveying wildfire damage within the state—a fact that further muddies the waters, as Jerry Brown vehemently denies any emergency landing on this trip.
Intention to Sue?
Mr. Trump, despite the backlash, adamantly maintains the authenticity of his story, asserting he possesses helicopter flight records that validate his narrative. Putting his intention in no uncertain terms, he hinted that he would likely sue over the Times article.
A History of Unfulfilled Evidence Claims
Questions hover over the veracity of Mr. Trump’s claims due to previous instances where he promised evidence that he failed to deliver. In his year 2023 book Letters to Trump, he reported the same emergency landing anecdote—an assertion still standing uncorroborated.
Conclusion
The circus of this ongoing controversy surrounds former President Donald J. Trump’s affirmation of a harrowing helicopter incident that contradictorily lacks supporting witnesses or evidence. Despite a contentious backlash, Mr. Trump remains matter-of-fact regarding the authenticity of his account.
