Trump Tells Fake Greatest President Of My Lifetime' Story Hours After Fox News Busted Him With Video

"I met him at the Army-Navy game. They said, oh, there's Governor Moore. He'd love to see you. He came over to me, hugged me, shook my hand. You were there? He said, Sir, you're the greatest president in my lifetime. I said, well, it's really nice that you say that. I'd love you to say it publicly, but I don't think you can do that, so it's okay. But no, Sir. You're doing a fantastic job. I want to just shake your hand. Thank you very much, Governor. That was that."

"GOV. WES MOORE (D-MD): Mr. President! Welcome back to Maryland, sir. Welcome back to Maryland. It's good to see you. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: In person, too. GOV. WES MOORE (D-MD): Thank you, sir, great to see. Great to have you back here. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: (INAUDIBLE). GOV. WES MOORE (D-MD): Thank you sir. Thank you. Well, we are very, very anxious to be able to work closely with you. I know the Key Bridge is something that we're It's going well. I mean, we spoke with Speaker Johnson yesterday, and Speaker Johnson says he believes we're close to the 100% cost share. And the thing is, I told him, when we get that (INAUDIBLE) done, we are going to be able to go over the Key Bridge on your watch. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Good. Good good. GOV. WES MOORE (D-MD): Because I will have it done in 28. On time, on budget. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We'll help you out. GOV. WES MOORE (D-MD): Thank you, sir."

President Donald Trump recounted a meeting, saying Gov. Wes Moore called him "the greatest president in my lifetime." Fox News obtained behind-the-scenes video of the encounter. The tape shows Moore greeting Trump warmly and discussing the Key Bridge recovery, cost-sharing and timelines rather than offering personal praise. Moore emphasized cooperation, reported conversations with Speaker Johnson about funding, and said the bridge would be finished "in 28, on time, on budget." The videotaped exchange contradicts Trump's account and demonstrates that Moore did not deliver the laudatory remark Trump described.
