An incredible story involving Donald Trump has just come to light, and virtually no one knows about it because, unlike what almost any politician would do, the billionaire hasn’t used it to boost his public image.
Years ago, now Presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s private 727 took off from Los Angeles and landed in New York City, much as it had for years. But this time one thing was different.
While Trump wasn’t on board, three other passengers were — 3-year-old Andrew Ten and his parents. What led to this trip is a story that’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming.
Andrew was struggling with a breathing condition that doctors in California had not yet been able to identify. Wanting the best care available for their son, the Tens decided to fly east and meet with doctors in New York.
Remarkably, however, commercial airlines refused the family due to the oxygen tank, suction machine, adrenaline syringe, and other medical equipment Andrew needed to endure the flight.
Running out of ideas, the Tens decided to try a one in a million shot. They reached out to Donald Trump and asked for his help.

Yes, perhaps you missed the "years ago"? It was just a few words before the "727"...
You are so correct.
There are millions of people that do this every day, hardly ever do they receive recognition, but they don’t do what they are doing for recognition.
Imagine if everyone did...
Good to see CNN is finally reporting something that is not attacking Trump, and calling him and conservatives racist, divisive, and hateful.
Oh, wait. Never mind.
No, you absolutely shall not!
There were quite a few stories about Mitt Romney. He did some amazing, selfless, and devoted things for employees in dire need that were never reported by the MSM. Instead, we got a steady diet of dog on the roof and him causing employees to die of cancer.
Ya, I got that.
John Wooden said it best, “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.”
This is a great story, but the one that I think is more applicable today, is the story of the Wollman Skating Rink. The guy Gets Sh*t Done.
Bruce Wayne is a pseudonym for Donald J Trump.
Do you care?
“When he releases his tax returns I’m sure we’ll find this kind and charitable act was taken as a tax deduction.”
If it’s a legitimate deduction, why wouldn’t he take it? Are you suggesting it was done soley for a deduction?
Sorry, I missed the sarcasm.
Please read the entire thread. I was trying to be sarcastic.
Unsuccessfully it appears.
Most of your links are broken. I’ve seen some of these stories before, but lately when doing a little searching, I can’t find most of them any more. Maybe I’m not using the right search terms...

saw it .... I didn’t equate years ago to decades ago. My bad.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Well said !
Right along with 700 pair of underwear....
I'm assuming you were being tongue-in-cheek and decided to pile on.
Not unless he releases 30 years worth. This trip took place in 1988. And even then I highly doubt that Trump looked at it as a tax deduction.
