'I Guess We All Look Alike'

Saturday, August 10, 2024

The man who almost crashed in a helicopter with Donald Trump told Politico Trump confused him with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown -- despite the former president's repeated insistence it was Brown. It was Nate Holden, a former city councilman and state senator from Los Angeles, who said in an exclusive interview late Friday that he remembers the near-death experience well. He and others believe it happened sometime in 1990.

"Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco," Holden said. "I'm a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles. "I guess we all look alike," Holden told Politico, letting out a loud laugh.

Wow.

Fmr Pres Trump seems to have blown it, big time.

Now that facts seems to be coming out, the affable story he tried to tell now seems to be coming back and, well, wow.

From the cited article...

"In the lobby at Trump Tower, Holden says he was greeted by several people as "senator," salutations that miffed the host.

"He said, You know I own this building but nobody seems to know who I am,'" Holden remembered the mogul saying."

What a little bitch.

my last line is a play on words....wordplay.

satire to make one of you look stupid...( as if you need my help in that )
