Airline Couldn’t Help Sick Child, So Donald Trump CAME TO THE RESCUE! Even Donald Trump’s critics agree- He is a man of action. He’s not the type to wait around for government help. He wins because he works hard and is dedicated. But this story is extraordinary! In Los Angeles, an airline was refusing to help get a sick 3-year-old Jewish boy on a flight. Trump was called, and he immediately made his expensive private jet available. Donald Trump acted to save the day, without hesitation. THIS is what a REAL leader looks like. The private Boeing 727 of real estate tycoon Donald Trump arrived from Los Angeles at LaGuardia Airport Tuesday morning, carrying aboard an Orthodox Jewish child with a rare and still undiagnosed breathing illness. The child, Andrew Ten, age 3, arrived with his parents — accompanied by three nurses who attend to him around the clock — to try to seek medical help in the New York area. Trump made his plane available for the special trip to New York after the boy’s parents, Judy and Harold Ten, called Trump and told him of their plight. Commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he could not travel without an elaborate life-support system, which includes a portable oxygen tank, a suction machine, a breathing bag and an adrenaline syringe. “Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up. He said ‘yes, I’ll send my plane out,’” 29-year-old Harold Ten recalled shortly after he landed here Tuesday morning. Asked why he thought Trump made his private jet available, Ten replied, “Because he is a good man. He has three children of his own and he knows what being a parent is all about.” While Donald Trump is busy saving young boys at airports, President Barack Obama allows his family to live in poverty somewhere in Kenya. Thank you Donald Trump for setting such an example for the rest of us! We should always help others in need. What do you think about this Trump news?

Now remember this was done a long while ago, when he wasn't on TV or running for any political office.
Seems odd, perhaps staged. Who, when trying to travel with their sick child, immediately thinks, "I'm going to call Donald Trump--he'll help me!"? How did Mr. Ten know how to get ahold of the Donald? What other alternatives did the Tens attempt before resorting to a call to a real estate tycoon?
I'm not quite sure. I mean when was this story released? 1987? What gain would trump have to send his plane? He wasn't even a nationwide celebrity back then. He was just a money guy.
I heard this story awhile ago. I think its legit, why would he not help out if he could. I think this is a situation many people would help out in if they had the means. Trump is either a baffon or genius, but he isnt evil and this really was no skin off his nose. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
I just want to know what the kid's race has to do with the story? Click bait article using race for hits. And we wonder why everyone is racist.
Whatever the illness, race, color or creed; the airlines WOULD NOT let him fly. Plain and simple. Trump did what everyone else didn't and that's the truth. Cut through whatever derails your understanding that this was a Good Samaritan act that didn't help him back then. Now if you guys think he knew the future and did this act so he can talk about it 40 years later, then he's a shoe in for the presidency.
This is also a story Donald Trump might now want to distance himself from because in 2014 the sick boy’s father, Harold Ten, was charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of taking part in a scheme that “allowed a ring of brokers, investment advisers and their clients to profit from the deaths of terminally ill patients”: Read more at http://m.snopes.com/trump-flies-sick-boy/#5hmhufG5khZ9RQgG.99
How Trump would word this story in public: "SO THERE SICK LITTLE BOY CAME TO ME, YOU KNOW, A JEW...."
Im not saying it wasnt a good thing. I just think it's sad the article has to state the boys race as if that has anything to do with the story. How about trump fly sick 3 year old boy when airlines wouldnt? See no click bait, just fact. I could see if they wouldnt fly him because jewish, that would be a reason to mention race. But since there is no mention there is no reason to use his race as a way to get advertising money for how many clicks they generate.
I read that as well. Why would snopes bother to add that in? That's the kind of stuff that makes people say that snopes is biased.
I wouldn't. It's a great story because there is no connection with Trump or it would. Have made headlines. Instead, he did his deed and didn't even make a press conference to show his good deed.
There are people who will exploit their own children for money and/or attention/fame. If a person is low enough to rip off the terminally ill and not hard to imagine he'd exploit his own child. It's nothing that Trump did wrong but it does it is an interesting side note to the story. Also it was important that Snopes add that because a google search on the father turns up both stories. Lots of people only read headlines and would make the jump that both incidents are related.
Jews are rare, only a few million of them. Diseases that genius doctors can not diagnose are rare. Rare X Rare equals really rare. Even a poor doctor is not going to call a disease he can not diagnose, a common ailment.
That's s good deed. I would hope most would do the same if they were in his shoes. The line in the article about Obama letting his family in Kenya live in poverty was a nasty biased shit-fuck thing that ruined an otherwise nice story.
I could see maybe some place like Boise or Sioux City not being familiar with "Jewish" diseases but LA?!? Hmm... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedars-Sinai_Medical_Center
Now that its mentioned it does kind of seem like being a jew is part of the sickness in this story....... maybe they are trying to highlight it because Trump is christian (right?) and it shows how open to other religions he is. You know feel good outreach story of the year type thing. The part at the end where they compare it to Obama letting his family live in poverty in Kenya is hilarious though, like either have anything to do with eachother or are remotely related. Such is the republican psyche though, cant point out one good without comparing to a perceived Obama bad. Im surprised no one has said we cant care about this because we have homeless veterans and starving children all over the country. Everytime there is a story that aligns with democrats thats the kind of shit we here all day everyday, until the rational people give up and the irrational people think they actually made a point.
I just remembered, my next door neighbor lady a couple years ago had some odd thing bothering her. She had decided to go to Cedars Sinai to get it checked since Coos Bay was not getting it done. I ask her if she was Jewish? She stood they and looked at me, not saying a word. She didn't go. She is Japanese American.
