Trump Does the Unthinkable By: Liz Conklin July 16, 2016
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 ever 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! Might be worth passing on!!!
Just shows we hired the right guy. If Hollywood, the liberals and the media ever STOP harassing him, Trump will have time to do many more positive things for our country…the good ole United States of America!
Liz Conklin:
PS – To those who are already fact checking, don’t bother…already did it and all the stories are TRUE!
Well, lessee here . . . .
Wrote the Constitution and doubled the size of the country – reviled as a slaveholder
Tried to keep the country together and make it great – got shot for his efforts
Created the Great White Fleet and built American global prestige — got shot
Took us to the Moon and backed down Kruschev – got shot
Wiped away the Carter malaise and restored American pride – got shot
Says America can be great again, constantly under fire from liberals.
Beginning to see a trend here . . . . . . .
Said America was never great and apologized for its aggression and arrogance – revered as The Golden One we’ve all been waiting for.
Considering that sequencing, I think if I were PotUS I’d avoid ever using the words “Great” and “America” in the same sentence.

Bocopro and Kid went a different direction than I’d expected!
Boco….the article in my post says “Trump does the unthinkable and gets insulted”…you went to “Presidents have done the unthinkable, right things to do, and ‘got shot’! Yikes!
Then Kid says he’s worried about Trump getting killed if he wins again………….
Both of you could be right because we have seen such LEFTWING WHACKOS killing even innocent cops eating their lunch in their cars! THEY WANT TRUMP GONE….you’re both right.
Putin probably would have the perfect input for Trump on how to stay truly safe; if he helps Trump with that, the Left would call it COLLUSION! 🙂 l Right?
BUT WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF ALL THESE TRUE AMAZING STORIES SAID ABOUT TRUMP? I think they’re pretty great.
Also, I’m hoping against hope that, somehow, somewhere, I can do something nice for him. I need the money :-)!!!

No more “Debbie Downer” for me. Positive Thoughts can = Positive Results.Negativity is just that, negative. This is the USA and we cannot and will not succumb to all the depressing news, our enemies constantly batter us with.

MUSTANG is SO RIGHT!!
Mal, THAT is how I’ve felt about Trump! I feel he undermines his amazingly good, caring heart with his lousy rhetoric, name calling, etc. I think I’ve said here that I’ve seen him in crowds, on stage, etc., where he’s spotted someone in the crowd he really cares for among the hordes, and he’ll give such a happy, warm smile, I KNOW that’s his real self. Let’s face it, it’s what Melania married. Right? OK, he’s very rich, but you have to know she married a NiCE GUY……I believe his mannerisms now bother her waaay more than they bother ME 🙂 Because she knows he’s not displaying his best side all the time.

My view on Trump as a person was expanded when I heard her interviewed during the election. The fact that a professional digger with resources could not come up with any of the scandalous fake news we’ve since read colored the way I looked at many accusations. He’s flawed, but there is a very decent person inside. Can’t say the same for many of his chief opponents.

Baysider, yes, as she puts in the article, she’d dug into EVERYTHING and could find nothing. Am hoping Mueller’s report goes the same way!
Kid, I’d LOVE to do that, too. I’d also LOVE to somehow help him and be hugely well compensated for it (HA!!)

Bocopro sent my wife and I to the search machines on who got shot. It’s not easy to remember all these thing if you are not an historian. Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy were all assassinated. It turns out that lots of Presidents were shot at, some hit, and four died as the result. One of the most interesting Presidential targets was Theodore Roosevelt who was shot while making a speech, and would not stop his speech because of the shooting. He carried that bullet in his body until he died in1919.

Always enjoyed readin history, ‘specially Roman. LOVE archaeology. And Greek mythology. Back when I first started goin to sea with the USN (1960), all there was to do when you weren’t workin or standin watch was play pinochle, play acey-deucey, or read, so I always took several paperbacks with me and swapped ’em with other guys when I finished.
Did a year’s arduous sea duty on a spy ship in ’66. Of the nearly 400 days I rode the thing, it was in port about 25 or so, hence “arduous.” Musta read nearly two hundred books on that tour, including Vonnegut, Asimov, and of course Toynbee and Lamb, among other history-book writers.

Incidentally, volunteering for a year’s tour of arduous duty brought with it the assurance of choice of duty station you were qualified for as your next tour. That’s why I did it. Got the assignment I wanted (repair facility in Subic Bay) for the next 3 years.
Also gave me the time to do all the boxtop correspondence courses to sweeten my chances for officer selection — stuff such as Navy Regs, UCMJ, Logistics, Leadership, etc.
As soon as I passed the CPO exam and was on the selection list, I applied for officer status, and got it. Those 400 days off the coast of Cambodia paid off.

Well, guys, I don’t blog. Or Phasebok. Or Twit. What I do is mental calisthenics every day, producing a screed which I then toss out into the aether to my e-mail addee group. I know the stuff often gets shared with others via Facebook or other media, but I have no idea how to access any of it that way or provide links. Only one I’m sure of is Denny, at grouchyoldcripple.com , who publishes one rant per week (Wednesdays, calling it “Ron’s Day”). But I never know which one he’ll put up.
So, all I can do is put today’s rant here. Doubt very much if the jpg will survive the transposition:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To hell with it. I give up. HayZeus Keeriminy, what’s WRONG with these people!
Nancy Pelosi: “We should deport illegal aliens only if they do something illegal.”
Wh-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ttttt?
And why is it that the people who are so certain DJT has serious mental problems are also convinced that humans have more than two genders and can alternate on a whim?
Then we have the Katzenjammer environazis, the flibbertigibbets and scammers who have taken us from from global cooling to global warming in a single generation with none of their predictions materializing any more than the Heaven’s Gate or Jim Jones or David Koresh or Harold Camping prophesies of doom.
Anyway, I’ve been saying for weeks now that Occluded-Cortex is not stupid, merely ignorant, and she has a functioning brain that simply needs programming and data fill.
Well, I’m backin off from that position, ‘cause she’s been in the center ring of the big circus now for several weeks and hasn’t learned a friggin thing.
I still believe she has a working brain, but it’s one trained for burger-flipping and is trying desperately to invent and market cold fusion. Either that or it got caught up in a haybailer with a bunch of milkweed, bindweed, pigweed, chickweed, locoweed, and thistle.
I really REALLY don’t think all those overeducated doomsayers ever took a middle-school earth-science class. Farting cows? GMAGB! Good grief, TERMITES produce more methane than commercial livestock. Hell, wetlands and swamps probably produce more than cows do.
Pretty simple physics, really. Called the “carbon cycle.” Allow a wad of plant material to lie out in the open and decompose naturally, and it’ll morph into carbon, carbon-nitrogen compounds, H2O, CO2, and a few trace elements depending on species.
Take oxygen away from it, as in a bog or a belly, and you get a carbon-nitrogen based residue and CH4 (methane) instead of CO2. Methane bubbles up constantly from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, as well as the Alaskan and Siberian tundras during thaws.
Removing cows from the equation would be like stopping the flow of the Los Angeles River into the Pacific to prevent salinity increase in the world’s oceans.
I won’t bother you with pics and ‘toons of Accidentally Occluded-Kotex and her often startling contusions ‘cuz all you gotta do is put “AOC memes” in your Bing or Google images searchbar. But the one that overloaded my support mechanism for her was this:
Ocasio-Cortez: People Maybe Shouldn’t Reproduce Due To Climate Change
“Is it okay to still have children?”
As I’ve said, a brain lives in that skull, and it DOES work, but it’s like a small-block Chevy engine tryin to run on diluted Mazola oil for fuel. And I’m fairly certain that even at 30 years’ age, her cranium is still calcifying like a stalagmite in a limestone cavern and crowding her cortex into a pistachio shell.
Still believe I’d enjoy her company, but purely for the entertainment value . . . as I’ve said, like a Goldie on Laugh-In enlightening Dan Rowan or Professor Irwin Corey explaining aerodynamics to the Chicago Bears’ offensive linemen.
Yeah, let’s stop producing humans in North America and Europe . . . for the planet’s sake. And of course if we do that, we can rest assured that Africa, India, China, and Islam will do the same, right? Problem solved . . . for the termites.
