Eventually, Trump and his staff posed for photographs with Bouvet and offered him a round of applause. At the end, Trump put his hand on Bouvet’s back and told an aide, “Send him a check for $10,000.”

Bouvet broke down and cried.

With that and a round of goodbyes, an aide ushered Bouvet out of the tent. Bouvet wiped tears from his eyes as he melted back into the tens of thousands that had gathered for the concert.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Great story...surprised WaPo published it...

Trump is winning them over.

Scott Adams was correct when he called Trump a world class persuader.

I’ll bet that the multi-millionaire Usurper never did anything like this.

This is one of the happiest days of my life, to be rid of the Usurper and his scummy, Leftist minions, and to replace that with a guy who will put millions to work, make this country energy independent for the first time in 75 years, and make this country respected again!

Oh.... Obama gave many people tons of money. The DIFFERENCE is that OBAMA gave them YOUR MONEY, while TRUMP gave this man money from his own bank account.

Read the comments, the liberal heads are EXPLODING and they are furious at the WAPO for printing this and more so for it being on the front page.

Nope. He thought he was above the average man. obama also thought he was above the average man and woman in uniform — military or police.

We have to try to get FReepers on board making sure this never happens again.
Unfortunately many of them are fans of the many ineligibles coming up in the GOP and are willing to ignore the original meaning of the natural born citizen clause.

It does not mean citizen at birth, making every anchor baby with no allegiance to the United States and its citizens eligible.

It means born here of citizen parents.
No possibility of being anything else.
No foreign birth.
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
Solely a US citizen.
No divided allegiances or loyalties.

Reading the horrible comments on this article on The Compost, it is clear what kind of people follow that rag.

I’ve been tempted at times to create a log in, but wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of another account.

The guy is just like a average, decent, hard working American who happened to be blessed with a genius for business and strategy.

He understands what WE THE PEOPLE think, what our hopes, dreams and fears are. He understands how individual acts of kindness and grace make the whole world a little brighter.

God bless you, President Trump.

A wonderful story. I read it and then went to the comments section.

Venom..... the hate from their readership is unbearable and pathetic.

God Bless President Trump and his family.

Obama gave many people tons of money.

Specifically, the Iranians.

Wouldn’t it be something if Trump extended diplomatic recognition to Taiwan? He can legally do so, and John McPain and Mitch McC can’t stop it.

It’s like a dark cloud that’s been hanging around for 8 years has lifted and the sun is shining again.

That's just what I got through doing.

I read the article without glancing at the link. It sounded great and then I scanned down to the comments section. I could not believe all the negative haters on there. I was tempted to add a comment to respond to some especially vile individual and hesitated, thinking I better check out where the link was from first.

I scanned back up to the top of the page to see what the source was and sure enough, it was the Washington ComPost.

That explains everything. I'm glad I didn't sign-in to that fake newspaper just to comment. It's safer on here.

P.S. I was previewing this comment Friday, mid-morning but when I hit "Post" the system went down and the FP site disappeared. I found the same thread and posted my comment now. Thanks for getting the FR site back up and running.
