    The fun thing is, we know Trump wouldn’t do anything to help someone, anyone, in a burning building.

    There was a wealthy, elderly man who hit his head at Mar-a-Lago some years back. Trump noted he frantically looked for someone to clean up the blood because he was worried about the marble. And then the next day, was still removed about the blood and how the marble looked different.

    He’s not going into any burning building for anyone. No matter age, no matter wealth, that man is a coward. Always has been, always will be. Their post should be “Imagine if Trump didn’t dodge the draft…” because they’d have to imply he wasn’t already a spineless coward 60 years ago.

      There are two documented accounts of him having fits of generosity. One where he laid on a Trump jet converted for medical transport of a child across the US for an operation; and one where his car broke down, he hitchhiked with a guy, and he paid off the guy’s mortgage as thanks.

      Note that both instances quoted simply involved throwing down money.

        Back in the '80s, trump offered to pay the funeral expenses of a child who had been killed by a bear. He then reneged, naturally enough.
