He pardoned my husband from prison. He and three other men had been sentenced to 30+ years for crimes they didn’t commit, stemming from an issue while they were serving in Iraq.

President Trump saw straight through the media bias and DOJ corruption YEARS before the rest of the world but was not able to pardon them until he was leaving office in December of 2020.

I take issue with some things he says and does but what I don’t question is this: the man loves America and is always doing what he thinks the right thing is.

And he saved my husbands life. 🇺🇸🩵

Trump loves America and demonstrates his love all the time. The press doesn’t want anyone to know of his kindness and generosity.

And I suspect he really isn’t so loud about it because it comes from a space so genuine that it isn’t about him.

It’s about his ability to be able to do such things and he doesn’t limit them because it’s signed off on by DJT. It’s very humbling in a way because the decency of his actions speaks greatly to his character.

It impacted me so much that he donated his presidential salary. No one does that. But he did.

Thank you for sharing this story.

Before his first election there was a reddit thread. It was started as a bash Trump post. It said if you've ever interacted with Trump in person, tell us how he was. It ended up being a huge thread listing all the times he's called someone, given money, paid off a debt, keeps 100 dollar bills in his pocket to give as tips. On and on. Reddit locked it and you have to find it on the way back machine since it did not go in their favor.

Throughout my life, there has been numerous stories of Trump doing kind things for people. Jennifer Hudson’s mom and brother’s murder, Trump put her up in his building. The baby who needed special medical treatment but no one would fly the baby to the city they needed the medical treatment in, so Trump gave his plane to transport the family and baby. During the 80’s he would give loans to black people who came to him for a loan when banks refused to help them. He’s flawed and made mistakes but I recall more good headlines about Trump than negative prior to 2015.

Trump loves America.

And people.

Meanwhile across town we have an extraordinary display of non alignment … raising funds for an inauthentic person, campaign, and legacy;

pretending to like and support a fumbling, ill, mean spirited fool.

For those who would criticize President Trump, as using the death of this young officer, as a political opportunity, I would remind you he was invited based on his strong support of the policeman association.

My best friend was riding in an Uber from Palm beach airport and somehow she got on trump topic with Uber driver and he was saying how his dad had worked at Mar largo for Trump for 30years and how amazing President Trump is and how he’d give him $300 bucks when he saw him sometimes…he said he was nicest man…

I listened to today's episode of Tara Palmeri's 'Somebody's Gotta Win' (truly a fair journalist and great pod) and she had on Robin Leeds to discuss tonight's fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall. I guess Leeds is a political consultant, in the arena since 1993, and organizer of tonight's event. The complete lack of awareness re: the star studded fundraiser, cost to attend (tickets start at $250 a pop and I believe go as high as $250,000 - or more - for a photo with Bill, Barack and Joe) and how DJT is a "fascist, threat to democracy" was truly astonishing. I thought these people learned their lesson after 2016, but it appears they have not. They're doubling down on the Democrat talking points and writing off average, every day Americans who feel they were better off with Trump. More than that though, the inability to even recognize him as human, when truthfully, lately, he's really coming across as measured and dare I say, presidential -- I'm dumbfounded. What a complete misstep for President Biden to not attend this officer's funeral and honor his sacrifice, life and family. The priorities are clear and the juxtaposition on this date in particular, just wow.

One last thing, Worthington's athletic club is amazing and I grew up going to it with my parents and then as an adult. I've since moved away but it's truly a mecca of greatness from equipment and trainers to classes, the pools, cafe, etc.

Thanks for sharing this, Jess!

Thank you for sharing this story, Jessica. It has been widely noted that President Trump exhibits great generosity and compassion towards others. Many videos have demonstrated this characteristic, and the one you shared is no exception in its beauty. It is likely that such displays of compassion contribute to the polarized opinions of him. Shame on those that share such hatred. I have heard that the “darkness cannot comprehend the light.” I believe that it’s true.

I am honestly impressed by the compassion DJT has exhibited. I'm doubly impressed that he doesn't talk about it or wave it on a banner for good publicity. And, while Biden and these asshole Hollywood jerks throw a party at Madison square garden to congratulate themselves, innocent women are being beaten in the face in NYC leading to much injury and concussions in some cases. Bravo Biden....your presidency continues to amaze.

I love to see this side. It makes me remember what is important. Politics and politicians are good to keep an eye on but it's family/health/kindness/G-d that bring meaning to life.
