Donald Trump appears to have been caught in a major “lie” after Maryland Governor Wes Moore publicly contradicted him.
The president, known for his colorful statements, made another headline-grabbing claim on Monday, August 25, while announcing a series of new executive orders. He described Baltimore as a “horrible death bed” rife with crime—a description he has used for several Democratic-led cities.
Moore Fires Back
Governor Moore did not take the comment lightly. In a speech, he challenged Trump to “walk our streets and not just talk about us from the Oval Office.”
Then Trump claimed that Moore had privately called him “the greatest president of my lifetime.” He described a meeting where Moore allegedly hugged him, shook his hand, and praised his job performance.
