Donald Trump is a racist, bigot, sexist, xenophobe,
anti-Semitic and Islamophobe -- did I miss anything?.... He is also deplorable.
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 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 Lejune 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?
