Class act: POTUS Trump has Secret Service hand-deliver signed photo to 10-year-old with brain cancer
The National Sentinel ^ | 12/13/18 | USA Features

Classy: Nothing good that POTUS Donald Trump does will ever placate the perpetually triggered and angry American Left, but what he did for a 10-year-old girl battling stage four brain cancer this Christmas is worthy of high praise indeed.

Cleveland resident Oliviah Hall has been battling a brain tumor since 2017 after being diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade IV. She was able to meet POTUS Trump during his midterm swing through Ohio and had a picture taken with him and her family.

I'm sure the Demwits will have hearings to "investigate" the source of the funds used to make the picture and mail it.

Trump during his midterm swing through Ohio and had a picture taken with him and her family. Eventually, POTUS signed the photo and inscribed these words, “I love you, President Trump.” He also gave her a presidential challenge coin.

Special Agent in Charge Jon Schuck with the Secret Service hand-delivered the signed picture.

After an initial aggressive round of radiation treatment with chemotherapy after first being diagnosed, Oliviah’s tumor returned earlier this year. Now, the disease is affecting her short-term memory.

However, she’s not been forgotten. The family says on a good day they receive 1,000 cards and letters of support including one recently from singer Carrie Underwood. “She smiles and is happy in the moment, and so we’re going to keep doing what we’re doing,” said Rausch. “We want to look back and remember Oliviah was happy.”

The moronic Left may disagree, but our President is a good man.

So will the terminal child be off limits to the psycho-phant Trump haters? Probably not, knowing them.

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

"Classy: Nothing good that POTUS Donald Trump does will ever placate the perpetually triggered and angry American Left, ..."

If the Left would first find a state with voters willing to experiment with a state social spending program, instead of pirating the constitutionally limited power federal government to steal state powers and revenues to establish half-baked national social spending programs, then both the Left and patriots would probably be happy campers imo.

Seems like the kind of assignment for a Secret Service agent that would make a career full of bullish!t totally worthwhile.

“Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade IV”

Why not just say cancer? Is someone out there trying to impress me?

I hope the young lady has a long and full life.

I think they say it because there are a couple of different kinds of brain cancer, and one is far more deadly than the other. Unfortunately, she has that deadly kind. My friend died from it two months ago. She underwent every treatment available, but it’s just a no-win.

It’s a wonderful story, but I thought the identities and face photographs of Secret Servicemen were supposed to remain, well ‘Secret’. I guess not.

“Special Agent in Charge” is, from what I understand, responsible for the PR end of assignments, among many other duties - not exactly a “secret” position.

I see.
I’m so glad that was done. Any lift in the spirits will help her whole family during a time like this.
Most people don’t really know what to say unless they’re already close friends of the family. It’s devastating.
Meanwhile, there is a second child there too. You can’t ignore the healthy one too much. I’ve never been through anything like that.

I relearned that lesson recently when my wife unexpectedly passed away on Oct. 27, 2018.

“The moronic Left may disagree, but our President is a good man.”

Years ago a child needed to be transported from the West Coast to the East Coast for medical treatment. Due to the medical support equipment needed it was impossible for the child to fly commercial airlines. Trump heard of the need when the child’s parents asked him for help. He sent his 727 personal aircraft to do the journey, free of charge. This was many years before he ran for president and he gained nothing by doing this except joy by his good dead.

Trump is a damn good man and generous to the extreme.

It’s the type of cancer and it’s usually fast and lethal. I had an aunts die from this. Within a month of diagnosis she was dead.

I loathe most media as much as any conservative, but in this case I think the journo was conveying just what this youngster is up against. God bless Oliviah and her family. And our POTUS and his.

My mother used to just say someone was gravely ill.
