FLASHBACK: Donald Trump Breaks Up Mugging By Thug with a Baseball Bat
Gateway Pundit ^ | 5/30/2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/27/2018 6:02:36 AM PST by Haiku Guy

In 1991 Donald Trump saved a man from a mugging. Trump told his car driver to pull over and he confronted the mugger with a baseball bat. The mugger recognized Trump and then ran away.

Call it The Donald to The Rescue.

When he saw “a big guy with a big bat” bashing another fellow, Donald Trump did what any self-respecting billionaire would do: He ordered his driver to pull over.

(From 1991 Story)

“I’m not looking to play this thing up,” Trump said yesterday. “I’m surprised you found out about it.”

Witnesses said Trump, with Marla Maples tugging at his arm to try to stop him, leaped from his black stretch limousine Monday evening during the Manhattan assault.

Back during the horror of the Dinkins regime when over 2,000 murders were the norm in NYC.

"...on their way to the Meadowlands in New Jersey for a Paula Abdul concert."

Snort, guffaw.

Emphasis on being challenged by that little sniveling fascist $hit Hogg, who hid in a closet with the girls when the shooting started. Trump is a man, Hogg is a pansy-ass.

Wow . . . even THEN the press was bending over backwards to try and paint Trump as a liar.

Today they wouldn’t report a word from the second witness, though, who corroborated Trump’s account.

Okay, very admirable and totally in keeping with the character of the now-current President. But so help me, Trump in that photo looks like Bill Bixby right when the rage hits his eyes and he starts morphing into Lou Ferrigno.

Heard a similar story about Ronald Reagan stopping a woman from being robbed back in the ‘30s.

He not only hid in the closet, he interviewed the other kids with him. "This was his big chance, he thought."

Best Guess....CNN will hire him.

Trump probably has some story that Reggie Jackson gave him the bat, or if asked....he’ll haul it out from underneath the White House desk.

Another president once said: “speak softly and carry a BIG stick”

"Heard a similar story about Ronald Reagan stopping a woman from being robbed back in the ‘30s."

Yes, as I recall the story at the time he was living in an apartment and heard a commotion out the window. He went to the window and saw a man accosting the woman and got a revolver he had and pointed it out the window at him and told him to stop. The guy ran away as Ronnie ran down to the street. Here's an article from WND about it.

He was also a lifeguard in the 30's and had saved someone from drowning as well.
