Trump says Governor Wes Moore congratulated him before returning to the Oval Office

President Donald Trump has paid cold water to the chances of the Maryland Democratic Governor, Wes Moore, to resort to a potential presidential race, while doubling that the governor praised Trump at a meeting before recovering the oval office.

“I looked at a man from Maryland who told me …” Sir, you are the biggest president, you do an incredible job. What an excellent job. “Governor Moore,” said Trump on Tuesday afternoon at a meeting with members of his office. “Did anyone hear about him? Is there another hope for the president. I don’t think.”

“But I met him and I didn’t know it was in front of the camera,” added Trump. “Have you seen, they caught it on the camera. I was in a match, I don’t know, like the game of the Navy army or something. And I met him in a corridor. And as usual,” you do your job very well. “One of these big cameras did it on a band. But then he goes on television, says:” Oh, Trump is a dictator. “”

The president also told the media on Monday that he and Moore shared a short exchange during the Navy army match in 2024, when he said that Moore called him “the greatest president” of Moore’s life.

“He came to me, hugged me, shook my hand. You were there,” said Trump on Monday to meet Moore on Monday. “He said:” Sir, you are the greatest president of my lifetime. “”

The Navy army match took place on December 24, 2024, after Trump’s decisive victory against former vice-president Kamala Harris.

Trump says he could send the National Guard to Maryland to fight crime

Moore retaliated against Trump’s meeting by Trump’s meeting in an interview on Wbal Radio, saying that such a conversation “never happened”.

“I am a person who has my integrity very seriously, and I spent the last six months before this electoral campaign to explain why I did not think that he should be the next President of the United States,” Moore told Wbal on Monday. “So when I say that the conversation has never occurred, this imaginary conversation has never occurred, I mean that this conversation has never occurred.”

The images of Fox Nation captured Moore and Trump meeting during the Navy army match in 2024, which shows that Moore thanking Trump, saying “great to see you again” and the pair discussing the Baltimore key bridge, which collapsed in March 2024, killing six people.

Moore is not heard explicitly in the images he believes that Trump is the “biggest president”, but the video shows a warm conversation between the two.

The bridge has since become a hot political point between Trump and Moore, the president warning on Sunday on Truth Social that he could revoke the financing of the bridge and deploy the National Guard to solve the long -standing crime problem of Baltimore. Trump also argued with the Governor on the crime rate of Baltimore, in particular bristling at the invitation of Moore for a “security march” of the city.
