According to Kerick, who by the way spent a great deal of time down at Ground Zero, Donald Trump displayed incredible generosity and concern towards the volunteers and first responders who worked down at “The Pile” sifting through debris for body remains. Bernie told me without hesitation, “Trump instructed hundreds of his hotel workers to head down to Ground Zero and offer a hand doing whatever needed to be done. Be it hand out water, food, etc, etc.” I asked if the cameras caught any of this? Kerick explained there were no cameras permitted in the area, and Trump knew this. Meaning, he didn’t do it for the fanfare or press clippings. Perhaps Donald did it because he loves America, and because he cares about the American people?
Kerick went on to say Trump himself visited Ground Zero to help lift spirits and to thank the tireless workers who were down there each day and night searching for bodies. “He didn’t have to do it, he wanted to do it. That’s the Trump I know.”

Yeah, I saw that story.
Money talks. But that is BS. Trump never gave a rat’s butt about ground zero. Never even visited it until he was running for president.
It took running for President to get Donald Trump to travel the 4 miles between his glitzy Fifth Ave. digs and Ground Zero.
The New Yorker finally graced the hallowed ground of the National Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum in lower Manhattan Saturday for the first time. The GOP front-runner racked up another first, giving $100,000 to the institution, the only time he has made a donation, the Daily News has learned.
The cash was followed by a Trump quip taking a shot at GOP challenger Ted Cruz’s statement earlier this year mocking “New York values.”
Trump expressed his admiration for the museum — and added, “This is what ‘New York values’ are really about.”
Trump has often invoked the terror attacks on the campaign trail. But when he was just a real estate scion, Trump never found the time to pay his respects to the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on 9/11 — despite his claims that he “lost hundreds of friends” at the World Trade Center
Notice that the first time he gave a dime was after he was running for president.
Believe what you want.
