Trump Staffers Speaking to Family of Terminally Ill British Baby

Members of the Trump administration have spoken with family members of terminally ill British baby Charlie Gard.

Gard suffers from mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome and was sentenced to die via a European court, AKA a death panel because of a socialized health care system.

The Daily Caller reports:

Members of President Donald Trump’s administration have spoken with the family of a terminally ill British infant whose parents are seeking medical care in the U.S.

White House spokeswoman Helen Ferre said later Monday that “although the President himself has not spoken to the family, he does not want to pressure them in any way, members of the administration have spoken to the family in calls facilitated by the British government.”

“The President is just trying to be helpful if at all possible,” Ferre said.

Even if Charlie was to die on the way over,
at least he would die in FREEDOM.

Liberals are freaking out over this because this represents the end result of a single-payer health care system. Under a single-payer system, the government is given the power to decide who lives and who doesn't.

He should roll out the Trump 757 and go get the boy and his family...put them up in the closest Trump property to the hospital where he will get the treatment.

"Of course the leftists are attacking President Trump for extending help to this poor family. It just shows how disgusting the left really is. They can’t even give President Trump credit for extending help to a terminally ill baby. An NBC reporter accused Trump of offering help to the British baby for political gain. Just sickening."

What’s sick is that the UK hospital won’t allow the boy to go to the US. Even though the family wants to take him, and has the means, AND a doctor lined up for an experimental treatment in the US.

Their excuse is “letting the boy go to the US would prolong his suffering, so we’re going to kill him instead.”

When one of these lawmakers is suffering from cancer, we can just say “it will prolong your suffering to treat you, we’re sorry.”

Sick mofos. Seriously twisted.

Exactly. And the doctors here have said even if his treatment is not successful, it might help in future cases. Let him go England, stop acting like East Germany!!

The Trumps are benefactors at St Jude’s in Memphis, the perfect hospital for this child. But this needs to be done quickly before the pro death crowd turns off his medical devices.

Would someone explain how a court in the EU can decide why this baby has been ordered to die? Is it the cost??

European health care systems are a mystery to me.

Although I suspect if this were the baby of the royal family no such ruling would ever have occurred.

"When one of these lawmakers is suffering from cancer, we can just say “it will prolong your suffering to treat you, we’re sorry.”"

You gave me an idea: Since the Brits are fond of banning Americans from Britain if they are sufficiently prominent conservatives, why don't we let them know that we will start putting these British hospital decision makers on no fly lists?

This child is on a ventilator and would need more than a plane to get to the US, he needs a lot of equipment and an entire medical team of doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists. It can be done but it will take a bit more than just gassing up the 757.

This is an old picture of the child before he needed to be on the ventilator.

It reminds me of Terri Shiavo. Why didn’t President George W. Bush step into her hospital room, scoop her up, and carry her to freedom? It would have been easy for him.

Except that he is beholden to Free-Masonry, which has no interest in upholding the Natural Law, the law which God has written on our hearts.

I have during my life, seen a lot of people, associated with a lot of people, dealt with a lot of people, the same as all of you have, but I have never in my life time seen such uneducated, misbehaved, unmannered adults such as this thing called ‘Media’ is today...

To take a person who has spent a lifetime of becoming a builder of excellent properties, and world known, raised 5 children of highly educated status, devote his life to helping mankind, (examples): using his private jet to fly a child to a medical facility because the airlines didn't want to take the risk because of the oxygen the child had to use; to pay off a couple's mortgage just because they stopped to help fix his flat tire on his limo; to pay off the mortgage of a family farm that had been in the family for centuries, and this ‘mess’ that suppose to be called something like ‘media’ is attacking this person? Really???

And now this ‘person’ I talk about is the President of The United States of America, the most powerful person in the world, gave up his life style, gave up his freedoms to travel any where in the world, to his golf courses, his hotels, to rub elbows with the most rich and famous of the world, and this ‘mess’ that the unintelligent call ‘media’ are attacking him because they are so filled with envy, jealousy, wanting a life style like Our President has, not to have children being picked up for terrorist acts (Tim Paine's son) I can imagine the horrors these ‘sewer dwellers’ called ‘media’ feel...and horrors they are...

So President Trump if you feel like helping a child to live, which we as Trump Supporters know you do and will, we are behind you 100% in this...We all need to pray for the healing of this child and his family...how painful to have a government that would tell you your child has to die because of some greedy government, this is NOT what Jesus would do!!!
