“We have the flight records of the helicopter,” Mr. Trump insisted Friday, saying the helicopter had landed “in a field,” and indicating that he intended to release the flight records, before shouting that he was “probably going to sue” over the Times article.

The best part of the whole story was Trump’s response after the NYTimes asked to see the records of the alleged incident:

When asked to see the records, Trump responded mockingly, in a sing-song, childlike voice, repeating the question
- Nothing I believe more than a person who claims to have evidence, threatens to release it, and then never releases it while still claiming to have it.
  
  Suuuuuuper believable.
  
  It's literally the exact same thing as we all heard someone growing say their "girlfriend" just goes to a different school. So of course no one would know her.
  
  Yeah do we have a list of how many times trump has done this?
Here's the best part.

Trump DID ride in a helicopter that nearly crashed, but it was Nate Holden, not Willie Brown who was with him. Trump just can't tell black people apart.

- He's also 80. Old people get shit mixed up all of the time.
  
  Which is why they shouldn't be running countries.
  
  He's also a racist piece of shit. Racist pieces of shit get black people confused all of the time.
  
  That's not even in the top 10 reasons why a racist piece of shit like Donald Trump shouldn't be running anything.
  
  The problem isn't that he got mixed up. That happens to everyone. The problem is that he won't admit it and keeps doubling down on it.
  
  Ok but they should get mixed up on “who was that Black kid in Apocalypse Now, Laurence Fishsurne or Samuel L Jackson?” Not “who was that Black man I almost died with?”
  
  Like when he mistook one of his rape victims in a photo and thought it was his wife
- Maybe they "turned black" just for the crash?
He did the same bit in Season 1. Trump needs new writers.
Weird.
NYT:

Ok...
Please do. It's going to be great seeing that child like sing song voice and the alleged participants statements in discovery.
The evidence is saved on Hunter Biden's laptop
They deserve each other. Like Disney and Desantis.
