Now that real estate tycoon Donald Trump is running for president, an incident from November of 1991 has resurfaced in which GOP presidential frontrunner actually had his limo stop so he could save a man from a brutal assault by a mugger with a baseball bat.
Trump and his then-wife Marla Maples were riding around New York City in his limousine, headed out to New Jerseys Meadowlands for a Paula Abdul concert, according to the New York Daily News.
Trumps limo was about to enter the Lincoln Tunnel at about 8 p.m. when he saw a big guy with a big bat swinging away at another guy.
What happened next is absolutely incredible!
Trump noticed the victim taking 5 or 6 whacks, knew he was about to be killed and instinctively Trump told the driver to pull the car over.
He leaped out of the car as his wife tugged at his arm trying to stop him, and put himself in potential danger by confronting the mugger directly:
Someone in the car looked over and said, Gee, look at that, its a mugging, Trump said. I said to my driver to stop the car because it was brutal-looking. He got out of the car, with Maples tugging at his coat to get him to stop.
The guy with the bat looked at me, and I said, Look, youve gotta stop this. Put down the bat, Trump said. I guess he recognized me because he said, Mr. Trump, I didnt do anything wrong. I said, How could you not do anything wrong when youre whacking a guy with a bat? Then he ran away.
Kathleen Romeo, a 16-year-old student at the time, noticed that it was Trump that stopped the fight and yelled, Thats Trump!
A lot of people were surprised that he got out to see what was happening, Romeo said. She said that Trump had chased the bat-wielder off before he even got out of the limo and that Trump just looked around and went back into his limo but other witnesses backed up The Donalds story.
All of a sudden, a big long limousine pulls up on an angle, and Donald Trump pops out with the blonde, too, a witness said. There was a guy with a bat, hitting a guy over the head, and Trump yelled, Put that bat down. What are you doing? The guy dropped the bat, came over and started talking to him.
Donald Trump never sought attention for this story. Eyewitnesses confirmed Trumps account according to the Daily News and the publication subsequently contacted him for the story.
Trump, being Trump, told reporters, Im not looking to play this thing up Im surprised you found out about it.
He said afterward, he thought about the help his mother got when she was mugged three weeks before, in which a witness to the attack chased and caught the man who attacked her.
He also admitted to paying off the mortgage on an older gent’s house because the gent stopped and changed a flat tire on Trump’s limo.
It was not sniper fire. It was snipper fire.
Get it right, okay?
Hey, Carson, you horrid little disgusting toad! This trumps your “robbery” story where you told the gunman to aim at the person behind the counter.
It came from the Bad Blue website, just posted there today. Apparently, a lot of folks hadn’t heard about it, myself included. Don’t and won’t Ever do Facebook.
Yes, another kindness that I had forgotten. He’s a good guy.
"To my fellow countrymen:
"I have full confidence that if all do their duty we shall prove ourselves once again to be able to defend our nation, to ride out the storm of ObaMAO-ism and to outlive the menace of liberal tyranny.
"Even though large tracts of our country and many old and famous of our individual states have fallen or may fall into the grip of radical Democrat Storm Troopers and all their hideous apparatus, WE SHALL NOT FLAG OR FAIL!
"We shall fight in our counties, towns and precincts. We shall defend America whatever the cost may be.
"We shall fight these sons of bitches...oops, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the football rally fields and on the busy street corners.
"We shall fight the felonious Hillary...oops, we shall fight in the hills, we shall fight across the fruit-filled plain, we shall NEVER surrender, aiding our good comrades and all like-minded fellow Freepers in the fight, defending to the death our native soil.....to the utmost of our strength.
"And don't forget to wear my new red derby...."MAKE MEGYN KELLY IRATE AGAIN !!!"

A black Muslim street Gang founded by a Mexican drug cartel controlled the community 0 organized. Jesse Robinson Jacksons half bro is doing life for his involvement in the Gang That’s Robinson as in MO. They are related. She spent so much time in house as a teen siblings called her SIS
They were all close until bro’s arrest.
Gang was know for : drugs , male/female prosititution , murder for hire and a domestic terrorist plot funded by Kadaffi through FerretCON
Does that count as being around ?
I don’t know any of the thugs, thank God!
They’ve chan their names several times but are still responsible for supplying drugs to this area and all points radiating out of Chicago.
Main reason 0 has not closed the southern border. Those who first elected him to represent them in state congress would be put out of business
OH! Thanks very much!!!
Yikes government is nothing but an extension of a crime syndicate.
Hey Obama

Those who want to clean it up are either threatened or leave. Or take a walk in a park
Little harsh on Ben there.
