    I’m glad a 95 year old could clarify Trump’s statement for us.

      The 95 year old, a 70 something year old (both 1st hand witnesses) and her book published 10 years ago, yes.

    Most believable statement in the article: trump mistook one black man for a completely different black man.

    Least believable: two people ate lunch courtesy of trump.

      two people ate lunch courtesy of trump

      “elected official received a bribe from private businessman” seems more in line with what happened.

    I feel better knowing it was only partially bullshit instead of entirely bullshit.

      Well, he also seemed to have first conflated Jerry Brown (white guy Trump once had an uneventful helicopter ride with) and Willie Brown (black guy Trump never had a helicopter ride with). Then he went on to conflate this conflation with the Holden helicopter incident.

      Whether he willfully ignored reality as usual to fit his agenda or his mind is deteriorating à la Biden is impossible to say. [1]

        There was speculation that he meant Jerry Brown because they had been in a helicopter together. But it’s easier to believe he just mistook two black politicians for each other because he’s a racist as well as senile.
