Trump Once Cut Off Medical Care For Sick Infant (his grandnephew) To Spite the Parents

According to a New York Times story, Donald Trump once withheld payment for potentially life-saving care for his sick grandnephew to spite the boy’s father.

In 1999, a the grandson of Donald’s brother Freddy Trump developed seizures and was born with cerebral palsy.

Immediately following the birth, Donald agreed to pay any medical bills for the sick child.

But at roughly the same time, Donald’s father Fred Trump Sr. died, and his will led to a family squabble:



Trump didn’t deny the charge when contacted by the Times. “I was angry because they sued,” he said candidly.

If You Don't Think Paul Manafort Can Get Trump Elected, You Don't Know Paul Manafort.

Paul Manafort made a career out of stealthily reinventing the world’s nastiest tyrants as noble defenders of freedom.

Getting Donald Trump elected will be a cinch.

Manafort has spent a career working on behalf of clients that the rest of his fellow lobbyists and strategists have deemed just below their not-so-high moral threshold.

Manafort has consistently given his clients a patina of respectability that has allowed them to migrate into the mainstream of opinion, or close enough to the mainstream.

He has a particular knack for taking autocrats and presenting them as defenders of democracy.

If he could convince the respectable world that thugs like Savimbi and Marcos are friends of America, then why not do the same for Trump?

One of his friends told me, “He wanted to do his thing on home turf.

He wanted one last shot at the big prize.”

Trump Seeks More Foreign Guest Workers For His Companies

The presidential candidate is seeking to bring in 78 more servers, housekeepers, and cooks for his Mar-a-Lago resort and nearby golf course.

The controversial guest worker program allows employers to import foreign workers, but only when there are no Americans who want the jobs.

This month, Trump is bringing jobs to Florida, as he looks to hire 78 servers, housekeepers, and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach and the nearby Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter.

But instead of making sure those jobs go to Americans, he is seeking to import foreign workers for the positions, which pay $10.17 an hour for housekeepers, $11.13 an hour for servers, and $12.74 for cooks.

He filed applications this month claiming he couldn’t find enough Americans to do that work, and is seeking temporary visas to bring in 65 workers at Mar-a-Lago along with another seven waiters and six cooks at the golf club.
