Trump Does The unthinkable

From a friend.
>> This is interesting. 

 > 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

> a freelancer for "Us Weekly".
>  I had a gut feeling that Chicago contestant, Bill Rancic,

   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." 
 

 In 1996, Trum 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. 
  
  I 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. 
 

 I 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. 
  
> 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!
