This was written before we knew who would be President.
Obviously not from the
mainstream media ….
Journalist
Liz Crokin shares her perspective on Trump. This is a perspective a lot of
people don’t want published; it certainly draws fire on the main stream media
for the language used by Democrats -- which they are perpetuating
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 “Huge” 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 “Red Eye 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.”
In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuitagainst 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 hecontacted 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 drivera 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!

Trump permit Hillary to win, it will be a disaster for the United States, and
this once great nation will never again be the same.
