Just funny timing that this happens the day after he trots out a fake story about an emergency landing in a helicopter:

I know Willie Brown very well. In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him. We thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together, and there was an emergency landing, Trump told reporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida for his first news conference since the Democratic ticket was announced.

This was not a pleasant landing, and Willie was, he was a little concerned. So I know him, I know him pretty well. I mean, I havent seen him in years, Trump continued.

Brown, however, rejected Trumps account as obviously wrong during a phone call later Thursday with CNN, saying: Ive never been in a helicopter with him in my life.
...
The New York Times reported Thursday that the former president apparently confused Willie Brown with former California Gov. Jerry Brown, with whom he toured wildfire damage by helicopter in November 2018.

A spokesperson for Jerry Brown told the Times that there was no emergency landing and no discussion of Kamala Harris.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who also toured the wildfires in 2018 as governor-elect, said of Trumps account, I call complete B.S., according to the Times.
I was on a helicopter with Jerry Brown and Trump, and it didnt go down, Newsom told the Times, saying that Trump repeatedly brought up the possibility of crashing.
