Democratic Maryland Governor Wes Moore publicly disputed President Donald Trump's claim that Moore had praised him as "the greatest president" of his lifetime during a face-to-face encounter last year. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that Moore approached him at an Army-Navy football game, hugged him and delivered the compliment.
Moore responded to Trump's claim during a radio interview, calling it an "imaginary conversation" that "never happened." The Maryland governor later also posted on X saying "lol" and "Keep telling yourself that, Mr. President."
The White House has since pushed back on Moore's denial, with spokesperson Liz Huston telling Newsweek in an email: "Governor Wes Moore heaped praise upon President Trump behind the scenes after the President's landslide victory on November 5th. The only reason lightweight Wes Moore is attacking President Trump now is because he's desperate for attention and delusional enough to think he has a chance at becoming the next President. Wes should spend less time attacking President Trump and more time cleaning up the massive crime mess in Baltimore."
Moore's office countered by providing Newsweek with a video clip of the interaction between the governor and president, which does not appear to show Moore making those statements to Trump.

While the President is spending over a million dollars in tax payer money a day to keep up the performance of having the National Guard in D.C., he’s also cutting funding that could actually make our communities safer.
