Gov. Wes Moore Roasts Trump on CNN for ‘Obsessing’ About His Good Looks When They Met: ‘Comical!’
Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) roasted President Donald Trump for being “obsessed” and making several remarks about his “good looks” — including when they met at a football game.
Over the course of two days and several photo ops, Trump told a fake story about being called “the greatest president of my lifetime” by Moore, sticking with the story at his marathon cabinet meeting even after a Fox News host showed the claim was false by going to the videotape.
The tape even shows Trump inviting Moore to join him, and Gov. Moore replying, “Nah, I’m good.” From Fox Nation’s Art of the Surge:
On Tuesday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, anchor Kaitlan Collins asked Moore about Trump’s attacks and later played the Fox clip. Moore mocked Trump and his “comical” lies:
COLLINS: My lead source tonight is the Democratic governor of Maryland that you just heard the President mention there, Wes Moore.
And Governor, thank you for being here tonight.
I think, just first off, what is your response to the President calling Baltimore, as he put it there, a hellhole?
GOV. WES MOORE (D-MD): Well, the President seems to be obsessed with me. Today, he called me a beauty. And when I first met him, he just talked about, how I was a good-looking guy. And now he just continues to make — make statements that are just flat-out false about our state’s largest city.
The reality is, is that when I first became the governor, Baltimore in 2022 had about a homicide a day. Now, in the past two and a half years, Baltimore, and the State of Maryland, had amongst the fastest drops in violent crime anywhere in the United States. The last time the homicide rate was this low in Baltimore City, I was not born yet.
…
COLLINS: You mentioned what the President has said about you, talking about your — how you look.
You actually interacted with him, last year, at the Army-Navy Game. He’s claiming that you called him, the greatest president of your lifetime. And there’s actually audio of the conversation that the two of you had, that Fox News aired.
Obviously, you were there for this conversation. But I want everyone else to have a chance to listen to this.
(VIDEO CLIP)
COLLINS: Did you interact with him at any other point in that conversation? Did you ever tell him he was the greatest president in your lifetime?
MOORE: I know this is breaking news to everybody, but the President is not telling the truth.
What happened, right there, was when I first met the President, and then after he started talking about how I’m a good-looking guy, 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. And when they told us it was going to take 11 months to clear the Federal Channel, that this state got it done in 11 weeks, and we started talking about how it was going to get done.
And then he, later on, invited me to come sit with him at the game. And I told him, I said, I’m good, I have my own seats. And I went to go sit with the Cadets and the Midshipmen.
So no, I never called him the greatest, and I just find it absolutely comical that — that that was his — the way he remembered that conversation.
