1/2 THE MAN BEHIND THE SCENES…
For thirty years before he ran for office, Donald Trump quietly paid mortgages, flew sick children across the country, and wrote checks to strangers who needed help. You will not find those stories on the evening news. So here they are.
Start with what people who knew him before politics say. He has never had a drink. He has never smoked. He has never used drugs. He built his business on long hours, and the people who worked for him will tell you he outworked all of them. Nobody called him a bigot until the day he announced for president. That timing tells you something about the accusation.
Now to the record.
In 1986, a Georgia widow named Annabell Hill was about to lose the family farm at a foreclosure auction. Trump saw her story on the news, picked up the phone, called the auction, and stopped the sale. Then he sent her the money to keep the farm.
In 1988, an Orthodox Jewish family in Los Angeles had a three-year-old son named Andrew Ten who needed treatment in New York. The boy could not survive without a full life-support setup, and no airline would carry it. His father asked Trump for help. Trump put the family on his own jet and got them there.
In 1991, two hundred Marines came home from Desert Storm to Camp Lejeune and found out the military had no aircraft to fly them the rest of the way to Florida. Trump's airline, the Trump Shuttle, made two runs between North Carolina and Miami and got every one of them back to their families.
In 1995, a passing driver in New Jersey pulled over to help change a flat on Trump's limo. Trump asked what he could do in return. The man only wanted flowers sent to his wife. A few weeks later, the story goes, the flowers came with a note saying the couple's mortgage had been paid off. People have been repeating that one for three decades.
In 1996, Trump sued the town of Palm Beach, Florida. The town had been leaning on his Mar-a-Lago club for one reason. He let in Jewish members and Black members, and the older clubs did not. Abraham Foxman, who ran the Anti-Defamation League at the time, said Trump shined a light on the ugly side of Palm Beach that the glitter usually hid. Foxman also said other clubs started admitting Jews and Blacks after Trump forced the issue.
In 2000, Trump was watching Maury Povich and saw a little girl named Megan who lived with brittle bone disease. He said her attitude got to him. He called the show and sent her family a large check.
In 2008, Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew were murdered in Chicago. Trump moved Hudson and her family into his Chicago hotel at no charge and had his security team watch over them while they grieved.
In 2013, a Buffalo bus driver named Darnell Barton saw a woman standing at the edge of a bridge. He stopped the bus, walked over, put an arm around her, and talked her back to safety. Trump read about it and mailed Barton a check, because he thought a man like that deserved a reward.
In 2014, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi spent seven months in a Mexican prison after he took a wrong turn at the border with legally owned guns in his truck. President Obama never placed the call to Mexico that the sergeant's family begged for. Trump sent Tahmooressi a check for $25,000 to help him rebuild his life once he got home.
In 2016, Melissa Young stood at a Trump rally in Wisconsin and cried while she thanked him. She had competed as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005, then got sick with an illness that has no cure. During her worst stretch, a handwritten note arrived from Trump calling her the bravest woman he knew. She said the doors Trump opened for her ended up giving her Mexican-American son a full ride to college.
That same year, Lynne Patton, a Black executive at the Trump Organization, put out a video answering the people calling her boss a racist. She admitted she had fought addiction for years. She said the Trump family never pushed her out. They stood by her the whole way.👇
UPDATE ON MY MOM:
Last Friday, I took my mom to a group house with three rooms for assisted living/memory care run by a Nurse friend of mine.
It went so well, we worked out a plan to just leave her there.
I have retrieved most of her things from the corporate facility she was in.
My mom seems to be doing very well! The new place has a very warm feel to it. I think she thinks she’s at home. She’s mentioned to going upstairs a few times where their master suite was, although this house has no second story. The food is excellent, and the care is much more personal and meaningful.
Mom and her housemates! 👇
If you were a mom or dad with young boys or girls in your family, how would you feel about your waitress’s outfit if she were dressed like this one? 👇
A mother shared a post and felt conflicted.
“Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but when I'm taking my family out to eat, I expect the staff to look appropriately dressed for a restaurant.
I'm not saying she was doing anything wrong, and I certainly don't want to judge her personally. But the outfit was noticeable enough that it became part of the dining experience for me.
Maybe times have changed and restaurant dress codes have simply become more relaxed.*So I have to ask: Am I being too sensitive, or should restaurants still have some standards for what servers wear?”
Be honest - would this outfit bother you if you were dining with your family?
I wonder what percent of the political information shared on TikTok is fully true and accurate??
I rarely see something from TikTok, but it dominates the minds of millions and millions of younger people.

WAS TOO MUCH MADE OF THIS INCIDENT? 🤔
The 18-year-old blonde Ole Miss student seen on video making noises and gestures outside an apartment of 3 black students has acknowledged her involvement and issued a public apology.
Alaina Kunes, one of three students seen in the viral footage, released a statement Tuesday to CBS 58 News, apologizing to the women targeted and the University of Mississippi community.
Kunes described her behavior as insensitive, inappropriate and deeply hurtful. She claimed that before the November 6 incident, she had never met the women and did not know their race.
Kunes said she has personally apologized to the women involved and hopes they will eventually forgive her. She is also withdrawn as a student from the university.
