WOW: Airlines Refuse to Fly Critically Ill 3-Year-Old to Doctors… So Parents Call Trump
http://conservativetribune.com/wow-airlines-refuse-to-fly/
An incredible story involving Donald Trump has just come to light, and virtually no one knows about it because, unlike what almost any politician would do, the billionaire hasn’t used it to boost his public image.
Years ago, now Presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s private 727 took off from Los Angeles and landed in New York City, much as it had for years. But this time one thing was different.
While Trump wasn’t on board, three other passengers were — 3-year-old Andrew Ten and his parents. What led to this trip is a story that’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

so?
He did a nice thing for people who know him well enough to be able to call him, once. Big freaking whoop.

Just coming to light? I've only heard this yarn dozens of times since Donald The Most Magnanimous Trump entered the race.

How old is this story? Or is it being recycled as breaking news by Trumpsters? Trump sold his 727 in 2011 and purchased a 757 to replace it,which he has had ever since.

This, btw, is another convenient Trumpette lie:
"...unlike what almost any politician would do, the billionaire hasn’t used it to boost his public image."
He included this story in one of his books, for chrissakes! So much for not touting the story to boost his public image.

It happened 27 years ago.

People of far lesser means make far bigger personal sacrifices every day and we never hear about them.

We still don't know who paid to buy and have all new windows installed in my sister's house. Her minister got an anonymous letter asking that my sister set up a date with a local company to have it done and that it was paid for.

So apparently he did a nice thing 27 years ago, once. ONCE.

Great story. Truly a Saint!

So I was talking to this couple while waiting for a table at a local place. They were in their 80's and celebrating an anniversary. So I talked to the restaurant manager, and the restaurant comped them a cake. And some restaurant patrons paid for their meal. No one involved in that wanted or expected anything. Some woman paid for my groceries at Walmart once and some guy bought my order at Subway. It's called random acts, most people don't brag about it, unlike Trump.

It's likely that Trump hasn't done anything charitable since then.

He has been on one hell of a dry streak since then. Must have looked at the risk reward of charity and decided it just ain't worth it.
In another little known fact about the little boys father, Rabbi Ten. Seems to have been involved in a charity Fraud sceme in 2014.
Ten, who also goes by Heshy or Hershy, is alleged to have also been using his knowledge of the healthcare system to enrich himself in a highly unusual way. According to charges released by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 13, Ten played a key role in an alleged scheme that allowed a ring of brokers, investment advisers and their clients to profit from the deaths of terminally ill patients.

There was the Andrew Tahmooressi thing but he seems to have dropped off the map.

Yep.

And there is a scale that shows just how righteous any form of charity truly is in the eyes of the Lord:
1. Giving an interest-free loan to a person in need; forming a partnership with a person in need; giving a grant to a person in need; finding a job for a person in need; so long as that loan, grant, partnership, or job results in the person no longer living by relying upon others.
2. Giving charity anonymously to an unknown recipient via a person (or public fund) which is trustworthy, wise, and can perform acts of charity with your money in a most impeccable fashion.
3. Giving charity anonymously to a known recipient.
4. Giving charity publicly to an unknown recipient.
5. Giving charity before being asked.
6. Giving adequately after being asked.
7. Giving willingly, but inadequately.
8. Giving out of pity/Giving unwillingly.

I have been given coats twice by passing strangers. I often walk around without a coat in winter because I'm a big guy and the cold doesn't bother me much.

I totally believe it

It's ashamed that he couldn't be as caring to his own flesh and blood when splitting up his father's estate.
When the family patriarch Fred Sr., died in 1999, Freddy’s son, Fred III, spoke at the funeral. Later that night, his wife went into labor but the baby had cerebral palsy.
The Trump family promised to pay the medical bills.
But when Fred Sr.’s will was read, it revealed that the majority of his inheritance would be split between his children – except Freddy Trump Jr.

Cutting off his own family members from the will and then cutting off health insurance for the sick baby when the family member protested is as horrible and evil as it gets.
