Trump Does The
Unthinkable by Liz Crokin
Donald Trump is a racist,
bigot, sexist, xenophobe, anti-Semitic and Islamophobe -- did I miss
anything?...yup&brkbar; he is also deplorable. The left and the media
launch these hideous kinds of attacks at Trump every day; yet, nothing could be
further from the truth about the real estate mogul.
As an entertainment
journalist, I've had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in
all my years covering him I've never heard anything negative about the man
until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid
a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a
scandalous story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of
magazines and would've been a Huge feather in my cap.
Instead, I found that he
doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking businessman.
On top of that, he's one
of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more
gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.
Since the media has
failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put
together some of the acts of kindness he's committed over three decades which
has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears.
• In 1986, Trump
prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after her husband
committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop
the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take
action after he saw Hill's pleas for help in news reports.
• In 1988, a commercial
airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Orthodox Jewish child with a rare
illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with
an elaborate life-support system. His grief stricken parents contacted
Trump for help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child
from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.
• In 1991, 200 Marines
who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Jejune in North
Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families.
However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft
would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date.
When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North
Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.
• In 1995, a motorist
stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat
tire.. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his
help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife.
A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've
paid off your mortgage.
• In 1996, Trump filed a
lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach, Florida, accusing the town of
discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and
blacks. Abraham Foxman, who was the Anti-Defamation League Director at
the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the
glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted
that Trump's charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his
lead and began admitting Jews and blacks.
• In 2000, Maury Povich
featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on
his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's
story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and
gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.
• In 2008, after Jennifer
Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago, Trump put the
Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free.
In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and
her family members were safe during such a difficult time.
• In 2013, New York bus
driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at
traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm
around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When
Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply
because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded.
• In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he
spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico
border. President Barack Obama couldn't even be bothered to make one
phone call to assist with the United States Marine's release; however, Trump
opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.
• In 2016, Melissa Consin
Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her
life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin
USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an
incurable illness and during her darkest days she explained that she received a
handwritten letter from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I
know. She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his
organizations ultimately provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to
college.
• Lynne Patton, a black
female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016
defending her boss against accusations that he's a racist and a bigot.
She tearfully revealed how she's struggled with substance abuse and addiction
for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump
Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through immensely
difficult times.
Donald Trump's kindness
knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch the lives of
people from every sex, race and religion. When Trump sees someone in
need, he wants to help. Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV
interview if he'd run for president. He said: If it got so bad, I
would never want to rule it out totally, because I really am tired of seeing
what's happening with this country
That day has come.
Trump sees that America
is in need and he wants to help. How unthinkable!
On the other hand. have
you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing such things with their own
resources?
Now that's really unthinkable! Worth passing on!!!
