Trump enters Charlie Gard debate: 'We would be delighted' to help
FOX News ^ | July 3, 2015 | Cody Derespina

The plight of Charlie Gard – the brain-damaged British baby whose parents recently lost a legal battle to keep him on life support – has now tugged at heart strings as far away as the Oval Office.

President Trump on Monday tweeted his willingness to lend a hand – and in doing so exposed the debate over who should make life-and-death decisions for Charlie to a massive audience.

“If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so,” Trump wrote.

You know he has sent his plane to carry sick kids in the past.

Trump should use his influence to deal with the UK bureaucracy that stands in the way of the parents wishes for their child.

Yes I do. I’d love it if he sent a Trump plane to the UK after all the nasty remarks I read on the Daily Mail UK, people saying this kid should die and that American doctors could not help him.

I’m calling it here and now. Watch if they let this kid come to America, they will find he has no bran damage and he will grow up to one day read all this crap that people wanted him dead.

Yes he has!! I hope that President Trump can help this child come to America..the reason why the American press hasn’t covered this story is simple, it shows that Socialized Medicine is a FAILURE..they want it here in America but don’t want to show what the Govt does to children who are ill, they “Allow” their parents to watch them die..how nice of the Govt to “Allow” that. The parents have raised over 1.2 million dollars if they want to bring this lil guy to America for experimental treatment its none of the UK Govt’s business!

I bet those same people commenting on the Daily Mail’s web site would think differently if the child were Muslim

Has the baby’s Life Support been removed yet? Or did they move the date up yet again? I’m seeing conflicting stories.

Nah, at this point I dont think liberals would care even if the child were their own..remember, these are liberals, they abort their children on a daily basis

Perfect contrast of the shreds of liberty in American medical care, and the dictatorial ‘healthcontrol’ of the EU slave class.

I read on twitter that he’s still on life support and that he has brain function, that this whole story about him having severe brain damage is pure BS..that he can even breathe on his own..get this child to America so he can have a chance!

Hate to say I told ya'll that a few days ago but heck - I did!

This is just the kind if stuff about Donald Trump few people know and worse yet, his enemies claim he doesn't care a whit about, yet all those people who lost loved ones to the scourge of illegal aliens know!

God does know Donald's heart - we don't.

Thank you Lord for giving us a leader who actually cares about others.🙏

Trump should use his influence to deal with the UK bureaucracy that stands in the way of the parents wishes for their child.

Bureaucracies, being entrenched, can't be killed off in the usual manner.

President Trump is his name, victorious through a superior mindset and level of ingenuity.

He is openly shaming them to death.

The Establishment has no weapons against his methods, try as they might.

Amen. Give this beautiful baby a chance with experimental treatment.
The parents have raised the money. Doctors here are willing to try.

The state should NEVER decide who lives or dies.
