Trump on Iran War:
Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?
Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation
I was focused on CNN showing Fox New guy throwing an axe.
But while we're on topic. How many news reporters care about the bottom five percent? I bet if I asked them, their answer changes depending on where they know they're recorded.
Precisely zero, like US presidents, it seems.
Trump cares more than he lets on.
https://buckthegovernment.com/blogs/saving-america/donald-trumps-generosity-a-lifetime-of-giving-backOne of Trump's most well-known contributions came in 1995 when he donated $25,000 to help build the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza in New York City, a significant tribute to America's military veterans
In 2009, he contributed $100,000 to the Fisher House Foundation, which provides free lodging for families of veterans receiving medical treatment.
Trump has also offered assistance to friends, colleagues, and even strangers when they were in need. His personal philanthropy reveals a side of Trump that is focused on the well-being of individuals, often motivated by his desire to make a difference in people’s lives. Here are a few detailed examples of Trump's personal generosity:
- In 1986, a New York City bus driver, Eugene Callender, witnessed a violent incident where a young boy was being attacked by three men. Callender intervened, saved the boy, but was left with injuries and large medical bills. Trump heard about the bus driver's heroic actions and, recognizing the courage and kindness shown, stepped in to cover his medical expenses, easing the financial burden for Callender.
- In 2011, a U.S. Marine named Terry Smiley was stranded at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina after missing his flight home for the holidays. The Marine’s situation caught Trump's attention, and he quickly arranged for a private plane to bring Smiley home to be with his family for Christmas. This act of kindness highlighted Trump’s deep respect for the military and his willingness to personally help service members.
- In 1986, Trump came across a news story about a Georgia family facing foreclosure after the father, a hardworking farmer, had committed suicide in despair over his financial situation. Touched by their story, Trump paid off the family’s mortgage, allowing them to keep their home and regain stability. This compassionate gesture was done quietly, showing that Trump often helped individuals in need without seeking public recognition.
- After the devastating event, Trump offered actress Jennifer Hudson and her family a stay at his Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago, providing them with free accommodations and privacy while they grieved (following the tragic murder of her mother, brother, and nephew in 2008). He personally ensured their comfort and safety during this heartbreaking time, giving the family the space they needed away from public attention.
- In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to a little girl named Bailey Lynn Reutzel, who was fighting a rare brain disease. The donation went toward covering her medical expenses, allowing the family to focus on Bailey’s recovery rather than being overwhelmed by medical bills.
- Trump once received a letter from a woman named Joan Brennan, who was seeking financial help for her daughter’s multiple sclerosis treatment. Upon hearing her story, Trump responded by donating $10,000 to cover the cost of treatment. His willingness to step in and offer financial support during difficult times exemplifies his desire to help others on a personal level.
- In 1991, Andrew Stein, a man from Buffalo, New York, gained national attention when he ran into a burning car to save a driver who was trapped inside. Stein was left with significant injuries and financial hardship after the incident. When Trump heard of his heroism, he sent Stein $10,000 to help cover his medical bills and show his appreciation for the man’s bravery.
- In 2017, U.S. Marine **John Arroyo** and his fiancée reached out to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate for assistance in planning their wedding. Arroyo, a survivor of the 2014 Fort Hood shooting, had gone through a long recovery process. When Trump learned about Arroyo’s situation, he generously offered to host the couple's wedding at Mar-a-Lago, providing them with the venue and a dream wedding free of charge.
Trump's time as the host of the popular television show "The Apprentice" also showcased his commitment to giving back. Many episodes of the show included charity-focused challenges, where contestants raised funds for causes they were passionate about. Trump frequently matched or supplemented these charitable donations, leading to millions of dollars being given to various organizations.
In the celebrity edition of "The Apprentice," Trump raised even more money for charity, directing large sums to hospitals, educational programs, and organizations that support vulnerable populations. His work through the show helped bring attention to many worthwhile causes and demonstrated his willingness to use his platform to create positive change.
From his first year in office, he pledged to donate his $400,000 annual salary, choosing to give portions of it to federal departments and government agencies working on issues he cared about. (Dunno if he managed this, but anyway)
Trump donated part of his salary to the Department of Veterans Affairs to support programs for veterans. He also made contributions to the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Park Service, among others.
One particularly notable donation came during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when Trump directed part of his salary to help fund efforts to combat the virus.
He even donated to help people fight a virus that doesn't exist.
He just has no use for useless moochers who are "entitled" to charity. Or refugees who have not an ounce of thanks, and want to undermine the very country than hosts them. Those poor? Fuck them hard in the ass. For example, after my parents die, I will need to work (or marry someone who owns a home, that I could help pay expenses). Do you think Trump would help me out there? Bah, I can't see that I'm who he considers deserving. Do I care? Not really. Especially since it was his plan to cut taxes for people making under $50,000, which makes him significantly better than the people interviewing him.
Families earning around $50,000 will see their taxes cut by approximately 14.9% under the Working Families Tax Cuts, which aims to provide significant relief to low-income families.
Additionally, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law in 2025, includes provisions that benefit working-class families, ensuring they keep more of their earnings
Perfect? Nah. But he actually
does care. Which is more than I can say of some of the people on this forum, who I've repeatedly told that open borders are a human trafficking risk, and they deflect by calling me a racist or something. Look, I don't care if legal immigrants come. But if there are no security measures, nothing can stop little kiddos from being sold to pimps. Speaking of which.
President Trump has taken significant actions to combat human trafficking, including signing the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act into law, which provides legal protections for survivors of trafficking. His administration also declared a national emergency at the southern border to shut down trafficking routes and initiated mass deportation operations targeting criminal cartels involved in trafficking
