Trump Does The Unthinkable

Trump Does The Unthinkable

Image


Dennis Prager

Feminism Makes Weak Women Donald Trump is a racist, bigot, sexist, xenophobe, anti-Semitic and Islamophobe -- did I miss anything? The left and the media launch these hideous kinds of attacks at Trump everyday; 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 “yuge” feather in my cap. Instead, I found that he doesn’t drink alcohol or do drugs, he’s a hardworking businessman and totally devoted to his beloved wife and children. 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.

In 2004, the first season of “The Apprentice” aired and at that time I worked as an entertainment columnist for the “RedEye Edition of the Chicago Tribune” and as a freelancer for “Us Weekly”. I had a gut feeling that Chicago contestant, Bill Rancic, was going to win the reality show. So I contacted him and covered the hit show the entire season. I managed to score an invite to New York for the show’s grand finale and after-party. This is where I first met Trump and got to ask him a few questions. That year, Rancic did win “The Apprentice”. I attended “The Apprentice” finale the next two years in a row. Between that and the frequent visits Trump and his family made to Chicago during the construction of their Trump International Hotel & Tower, I got a chance to meet most of his family too and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with them. 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 Lejeune 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.”

Image

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 Tahmooressi 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.

Image

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.”

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!

These and other stories are known by millions of people and that is part of the reason why he won in spite of millions of fraudulent votes cast against him.

" As Promised?" He isn't even President yet! Why don't we give him a chance?

You get all your information from the media?
He has said he won't go after her. He didn't say the AG won't, nor the FBI. So ...
He is trying to bury the hatchet, which is a good idea. She is a sick old woman, and he does not want to sound vindictive and mean. None of which means she won't have criminal investigation problems in the future.
He knows what he is doing. He will be the president.
You won't.
i trust him 100%. I trust whatever decision or course of action he takes. That's why I voted for him and not to second guess him every 15 minutes.

Because that's what they want, failure. I find it interesting that people can be so closed minded, they can't give a guy a chance. :-?

Right. And hasn't Trump already picked Sessions as the new AG? Everything I've heard about Sessions is that he won't hesitate to go after Hillary. AJ sees this as a smart move on Trump's part; and I have to agree. Trump can play the good cop to Sessions' bad cop. Smart move.

Some people are just perpetual nay sayers. Malcontents, no matter where they are or what happens.
Perpetual gripers. Nothing is ever enough 'their way'.

All the more reason to let up on the woman. She may come to her just deserts naturally . . . snatched up by the gray grim reaper, as it were . . . to be brought before the bar of God.

In her case I think everything is signed and sealed ahead of time and she will report directly to Beezleboob.
And I myself will solicit funds to which I'm sure Donald Trump has compassion sufficient to contribute also, said funds to be used to send an air conditioner or fan to her if we can find a way to do that.

If words still have meaning in these crazy days, either you will regret that statement or you have lost the ability to judge good and evil. 100%? Really? He's not deity, you know. He's not even the prophet.

That same observation can be made about you. Why have you closed your mind to the reality that Trump is surrounding himself with old Washington hands and elites from Goldman Sachs? Nothing will change in the government if the very same people who created the problems continue to be in charge.

Well since you know all these things why don't you pack up for Washington and tell Trump all these things, and see if you can get one person to agree and follow along with you on the way. Yes, and that would include your ideas as to who should be appointed.

it's quite possible trump is using the prosecution card as a bargaining chip.
who knows if this was used to keep ford from closing some of their plants?

or maybe, some of these companies put in a call to trump and said, easy on hillary, and we will keep our jobs here.
trump thought of the potential unemployed worker and decided to fall back a bit.

no one knows whats going on behind the scenes. again, these people play smart and think 100 moves ahead.

The pendulum swings between two extremes on this site and this thread has demonstrated it already by blind adoration for a guy who has done nothing buy hedge what he said for 18 months to get elected. Things will be as corrupt as ever with our government and with a man who can only be defined by his unknown or shifting morals.

I don't owe it to Trump to "give him a chance". He works for ME. He needs to give me a chance by standing up and doing the right thing.

I'm not betting on it.

Brandon Smith has another incisive article out that I will link here and introduce elsewhere. Here's a snippet that is apropos to your "blind adoration" comment above:

"The smarter and more vigilant any given population, the more difficult it is to influence them through deception. This is very simple. To put it even more bluntly, the elites get away with subversive tyranny because there are too many willfully stupid people."

By stating that he needs a chance, I was referring to the fact that he hasn't even been inaugurated. Criticizing before the guy even STARTS the job is just nonsense. So yeah, he will work for the public, and thanks to the American's who voted him in!
