Daniel Ifeanyi Former President Donald Trump might have a future as a fantasy writer, according to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who has dismissed Trump’s recent claims about the two of them as pure “creative fiction.”
During a news conference at Mar-A-Lago on Thursday, Trump made a series of controversial statements, including a story about Brown. Trump claimed that he once flew in a helicopter with Brown that nearly crashed during a shaky landing—a moment that Trump said left Brown visibly shaken. Trump further alleged that during this supposed encounter, Brown made disparaging remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, with whom Brown was once romantically involved.
However, Brown quickly refuted Trump’s story in an interview with San Francisco’s KRON 4, stating that he has never conducted business with Trump or taken a helicopter ride with him. Brown dismissed the entire account as a fabrication, suggesting Trump was merely concocting a “creative fiction” to tarnish Harris’s reputation.
Brown went on to joke that he wouldn’t board a helicopter with Trump under any circumstances, fearing that someone with an agenda might sabotage the aircraft.
Trump’s remarks appear to be an attempt to reignite discussions about Harris’s political rise, a topic that has been the subject of baseless rumours and accusations from some conservative commentators. Despite the sensational claims, Brown is adamant that Trump’s story is a complete fabrication, perhaps better suited for a political thriller than a news conference.
