Res said Trump liked to tell a joke about Holden on the helicopter — “you turned white,” he said. But she said it was Trump’s face that was white.
“He was white as snow,” Holden added. “And he was scared shitless.”
You know what I would call a guy who thinks all black people look alike?
Weird. I'd call him weird.
Also weird that his running mate fucks couches, but that's a whole other issue.
Wtf kind of headline is that?
There were stories going around about how Trump claimed to have been in an emergency helicopter landing with Willie Brown, the (Black) former mayor of San Francisco. Willie Brown denied this.
So...I actually think the headline makes sense, and is kinda funny, but the context is definitely important
Trump confuses a short Black politician from SF with a tall Black politician from LA.

That’s the headline ❤️
The other angle on the is that Kamala dated Willie brown, the man not in the helicopter, decades ago.
Trump is doing some weird rambling thing about his political opponent that he thinks makes him look good and her bad, but his racism has popped up and transposed the black people involved to "make it work" instead of what really happened.
Holden also connected with Brown on Thursday. “I said, ‘Willie, were you almost in a helicopter crash with Trump also?’ He said ‘No.’ I said, ‘I was the one, Willie.’”
Before he hung up with POLITICO, Holden assured a reporter that nobody discussed — let alone criticized — Kamala Harris as Trump claimed Brown did.
“He either mixed it up,” Holden said. “Or, he made it up. This was just too big to overlook. This is a big one. Conflating Willie Brown and me? The press is searching for the real story and they didn’t get it. You did.”

Over the phone Friday, Res said Trump liked to tell a joke about Holden on the helicopter — “you turned white,” he said. But she said it was Trump’s face that was white. “He was white as snow,” Holden added. “And he was scared shitless.”
I think if I had a near death experience I would remember who I shared it with. The cognitive decline is awful to watch. So sad
