Third and final Brown
“Oh right it was that other black guy. You know, the other one.”
World’s only other Black guy steps up:
Former Los Angeles city councilman and California state Sen. Nate Holden said Friday that he was with former President Donald Trump in the helicopter ride that made an emergency landing, despite Trump saying it was former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.
“Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said in an interview with Politico late Friday. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles.”
It’s a damn good thing there are only three Black guys to keep track of, because more would be just impossible.
Trump told reporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Thursday that he was involved in a helicopter emergency landing with Brown, who has since rejected Trump’s account as “obviously wrong” during a phone call with CNN. “I’ve never been in a helicopter with him in my life,” Brown said.
Thursday wasn’t the first time Trump referenced the incident as something he’d experienced with Brown. In a book, “Letters to Trump,” the former president recalled the event as “a little scary for both of us.” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pointed that out on Saturday in a post on X.
Ah right. He’s said it before, so that makes it true.
Holden said that he was in touch with Trump’s team in the 1990s as Trump was trying to build on the site of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, in the district that Holden represented at the time, according to Politico.
Holden recalled meeting with Trump at Trump Tower before departing for Atlantic City, New Jersey, where they were planning to tour Trump’s since-closed Taj Mahal casino. Also aboard was Barbara Res, Trump’s former executive vice president of construction, who told Politico that the man on the helicopter was definitely Holden.
Res recounted the experience in her book “All Alone on the 68th Floor,” where she said the helicopter landed safely in New Jersey after the pilot said they would need to make an emergency landing. She recalled Trump joking about Holden being scared on the flight, with Holden noting to Politico that it was Trump who was “scared shitless.”
That’s so Trump. And it’s not “joking”; it’s pretending to joke when actually sneering or belittling or libeling. Or all three.
Too good to pass up…

Maybe the three of them could arrange things amongst themselves so that one of them lives on the West coast, another on the East coast, and the last one in the Midwest. Drawing straws or rock/paper/scissors should do the trick.
Willie Brown’s reply was amusing.

Are we sure Trump doesn’t have a touch of dementia? Maybe more than a touch?
Hell no we’re not sure, that likelihood has been discussed all along. The view among people who know much about him is that he’s deteriorated a lot. It’s not an official diagnosis but it is “he hasn’t always been this stupid.”
But what do we do about Hawaii?
Hawaii already has plenty of tourist attractions. You add The Black Guy’s House to the sightseeing tour, they’ll have to leave off the stop at Mauna Loa.
I dunno, maybe reinstate the monarchy, give it back to the Hawaiians, and compensate them for their losses.
Trump’s still looking for a Kingdom, so …
Reinstating a monarchy anywhere is Un-American as hell (something the natcons forget).
BKiSA, I suspect that the Iranians, who had a monarchy reinstated after the USA and UK conspired to overthrow the democratic government of Mohammad Mosaddegh, would disagree.
