Donald Trump stated on August 8, 2024 in a press conference: “I went down in a helicopter with (Willie Brown). We thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing.”
Did he claim to survive a helicopter crash? Because AFAIK, when a helicopter crashes, you generally either land in a coffin (more often) or a wheelchair (less often).
It depends what went wrong, like for a simple engine failure, I’ve heard you have a little bit of time to get onto the ground before the rotors stop providing enough lift. But in this case, I doubt the helicopter even existed.
It really does but if you tell people you “Went down in a helicopter” they’re not thinking you made a safe landing. Now if he had the humility to say “I had a helicopter malfunction on me” or something like that it could be understandable. But we’re talking the most fragile narcissist imaginable, he’s got to be remarkable in everything.
A forced landing would be reported and the record would be accessible to the public. What a stupid thing to lie about.
“a certain location”.

Trump has burned so many pants in his lifetime, huge polluter
Ok, per NYT, “Yes, Trump Was in a Scary Helicopter Ride. But Not With That Politician.”
“I said, ‘Willie, you know what? That’s me!’” Mr. Holden said. “And I told him, “You’re a short Black guy and I’m a tall Black guy — but we all look alike, right?”
