Video footage of a 2024 conversation between President Donald Trump and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore disproves Trump’s claim that Moore called him “the greatest president of my lifetime.”
Trump and Moore have been trading public barbs over public safety in Baltimore amid the president’s takeover of law enforcement in nearby Washington, DC. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, Trump claimed that Moore, a Democrat, struck a markedly different tune when they met privately at the Army-Navy football game in Maryland in December 2024.
“I met him at the Army-Navy game,” Trump said. “They said, ‘Oh there’s Gov. Moore, he’d love to see you.’ He came over to me, he hugged me, shook my hand – you were there – he said, ‘Sir, you’re the greatest president of my lifetime.’ I said, ‘That’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.’”
Moore scoffed at Trump’s story, posting a social media response that said merely “lol” and then another post that said, “Keep telling yourself that, Mr. President.” He said in a WBAL Radio interview, reported by The Washington Post, that “when I say that conversation never happened, that imaginary conversation never happened, I mean that conversation never happened.”
The video proves Moore right.
