Over the last several decades, Trump has given generously to heroes, the sick, and those in need. While the liberal media would have you believe that Trump is a virulent racist, it should be noted that a majority of the individuals who were recipients of these acts of kindness were racial or ethnic minorities.
In 1986, a Georgia farmer, whose farm had been hit by a severe drought, committed suicide in hopes that his life insurance policies would pay the mortgage. Unfortunately, the life insurance money was not enough, and even selling parts of the farm did not raise enough money. Consequently, the farmer’s 66-year-old widow, Annabel Hill, faced a second devastating loss. Trump found out about the situation, called the bank, delayed the auction of the farm, and contributed tens of thousands of dollars to pay the mortgage. Then he flew Annabel and her family to New York for a ceremonial burning of the mortgage papers at Trump Tower. Afterward, he checked in with her from time to time. Thanks, in part, to Trump’s intervention, Hill’s grandchildren were able to grow up on the farm.
In 1988, the parents of Andrew Ten, a 3-year-old Jewish boy with a rare medical condition, requested Trump’s help with flying him from Los Angeles to New York for treatment. Due to the medical equipment that Andrew needed to keep him alive, commercial airlines were unwilling to accommodate him. Trump agreed to help and dispatched his plane. The boy’s grandmother was very grateful and called Trump a “miracle.”
In 2000, Megan, an 11-year-old girl with Brittle Bone Disease, went on television in hopes of finding a friend. After learning of the girl’s situation, Trump wrote a check for the girl and her mother.
In 2008, Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and nephew were murdered by the ex-husband of Hudson’s sister. Trump let Hudson and some relatives stay for free at the Trump International Hotel and Tower.
In 2013, Trump personally presented a $25,000 check for the Slam Jam Women’s Basketball Classic to Clyde Frazier Sr., who was running the tournament. Frazier’s son, Clyde Jr., had founded the Harlem basketball tournament before being killed in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Several years after Clyde Jr.’s death, the tournament fell on hard times. But the elderly Frazier kept working to keep his son’s dream alive, and Trump assisted with that effort. In fact, Trump’s contribution accounted for nearly two-thirds of the nonprofit’s revenues for the year.
The same year, Darnell Barton was driving a Metro bus in Buffalo, New York when he noticed a young woman who was about to jump from an overpass onto an expressway below. The former v
