The story about Donald J Trump you will never hear from the Mainstream Media.

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.
You
can click on the link within the story or you can google Annabell Hill
and find a New York Times article telling the same story.
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 planeto take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment. You can click the link within the story or check Snopes and TruthorFictor.com and find the same story.
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. There
seems to be a discrepancy in stories - Snopes talks about a story
involving Tower Air and a trip from Saudi Arabia as does a variation on TruthorFiction.com
both of which are false stories. The truth involves a Cpl. Ryan
Strickland and a trip from Camp Lejeune , North Carolina to Miami. The
aircraft used was Trumps own personal plane and it had to make two trips
to accomplish the task.
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.” There
seems to be some question about this one. Snopes says it's false but
numerous others say it's true, including a piece in Forbes Magazine and
Sean Hannity. H was apparently asked on "The Apprentice" if it was true
and he hesitated and then said yeas it was true. You be the judge on
this one.
on Hannity
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. There are numerous newspaper articles on this one and a lot of public record to show that it is a true story.
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. This is actually caught on video on the "Maury" TV show.
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. Again, true and documentable.
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. Snopes even admits this one is true
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. True and verifiable with numerous sources including Truthorfiction.com
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. True and verifiable. Again even Snopes admits it true
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.” Lynne Patton has nothing but good to say about the entire Trump family
