Md. Gov. Wes Moore is the latest Democrat to be at odds with President Donald Trump. And after Trump claimed he called him “the greatest president ever,” resurfaced video has revealed the real truth behind the interaction.
If you know anything about Gov. Moore and his ongoing feud with Trump, then there’s no way you believed those words came out of Moore’s mouth. the two leaders met last year during the president’s visit to Maryland. And although Trump claimed Moore was gushing over him, the governor said the opposite actually happened.
“I know this is breaking news to everybody but the president is not telling the truth,” Moore told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday (Aug. 26)… Now roll the clip!
In the video, Moore and Trump greet each other like old pals. Quickly, the president turns to compliment Moore before the Democrat shifts the conversation to the real business at hand.
“He started talking about how I’m a good-looking guy,” Moore said. Then, “I started talking about the importance of the Key Bridge and how this state put on a case study on how to recover in times of crisis, that we’re able to bring closure to all six families, to the individuals who were lost that night on the Key Bridge,” Moore continued, referring to the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore which collapsed last March.
Moore added the president later invited him to sit in his section during a sports game, but Moore declined. “I said, ‘I’m good. I have my own seats.’ And I went to go sit with the cadets and midshipmen,” he continued. “So no, I never called him the greatest. And I just find it absolutely comical that was the way he remembered that conversation.
As we previously reported, the Democrat responded to Trump on X saying, “lol… Keep telling yourself that, Mr. President.” Trump’s inaccurate recollection came in the middle of a heated social media exchange between the two.
The president first claimed cities in Maryland, like Baltimore, have a serious crime problem– although statistics directly from the local government reported a decline in violent crime rates over the past few years.
That’s when Moore clapped back to defend his state, and this sparked a battle of name calling, truth telling, threats and promises between the leaders. In the end, Moore got the last word. Still, the president said he’s making plans to go to Baltimore in the next stop of his administration’s federal takeover.
