PDJT has more character in his pinky finger than most men have in their whole body.

In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hills family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hills pleas for help in news reports.
In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didnt hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.
In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.
In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: Weve paid off your mortgage.
In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach, Florida accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who was the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trumps charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and began admitting Jews and blacks.
In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girls storyand positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.
In 2008, after Jennifer Hudsons family members were tragically murdered in Chicago, Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trumps security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time.
In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life byconvincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded.
In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldnt even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the United States Marines release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.
In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her shes the bravest woman, I know. She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college.
Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that hes a racist and a bigot. She tearfully revealed how shes struggled with substance abuse and addiction for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through immensely difficult times.

As an entertainment journalist, Ive had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him Ive never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire couldve potentially sold alot of magazines and wouldve been a yuge feather in my cap. Instead, I found that he doesnt drink alcohol or do drugs, hes a hardworking businessman and totally devoted to his beloved wife and children. On top of that, hes one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.

Courage is a virtue. Only those who have it will stand for truth, righteousness, goodness, and justice rather than capitulating to the perverse demands of evil men and women.
Anyone wanna make a bet on the sexual history of Jonah Goldberg?
Bkmk
in my experience those that harp on a particular point of character expose a personal failing they sense in themselves. people of high character usually are very generous to others who are less so. jonah is obsessed and has managed to parlay it into keeping a job for several years. his fan club is shrinking however so perhaps he is a bit panicky. in any case by his standards Oskar Schindler would not have risen to moral greatness in WWII. just sayin’
Jonah Goldberg, the best reason NOT to watch Fox News Sunday today.
People can be flawed but still on balance be good in character and also good at doing certain jobs, including statesman. Just because someone is not perfect does not mean one has to be against every single thing he does, like Goldberg is. Honestly, I just don’t get the Never Trumpers. They would rather see the hideous Marxist Dems triumph than endorse a flawed but talented statesman who is actually accomplishing conservative policy goals.
The fact that Trump, unlike most politicians, is working hard to accomplish his campaign promises, also demonstrates good character.
Our Framing generation recognized the difference between private and public virtue.
President Trump’s public virtue is unsurpassed.
<>There was no guarantee that storming the cockpit of government by electing Donald Trump would save us. But it was our only hope.<>
Man, that’s good. So true. The Hildebeast Jihadis were ready to murder the remains of our republic. We had better realize that unless we reform our governing institutions, the accomplishments of President Trump will eventually vanish.
Trump has more character in his left gonad than any of his detractors have ever rubbed up against in their useless, hateful, pitiful, pathetic lives.
Courage.
Excellent point.
Only Lincoln has faced the degree and depth of hatred and resistance from such a large, organized and entrenched number of people. Democrats of course then as now.
And Lincoln invaded his own country.
Exactly what bad character makes him unfit? His language? May I remind you of LBJ? He got serviced by a porn star? Marilyn Monroe anyone? Dubya was a reformed drunk and some say sniffed Cochin, Trump has never had a drink or touched drugs.
Again, what character flaws make him unfit? Others sent out young people to war, Trump wants to bring them home.
Bump!
We elected an alpha male, and some are shocked when he acts like an alpha male.
As a point of further clarification, conventional people are "conformists." Unconventional thinkers may, in appearance, be conforming in their dress or behavior yet be entirely different in the way they approach problems and opportunities.
I don't know Jonah except what I have seen on TV, but his "never-Trumpism" gives me the impression that his dislike for Trump is not superficial or even based on principles. Jonah's dislike for Trump, like that of Bill Kristol, appears to be visceral. He may not even be aware of why he so dislikes Trump.
People who are conventional by nature are often quite offended by unconventional people...and Trump is clearly an unconventional person and thinker.
The issue here is about a built-in conflict between "inside the box" thinkers and "outside the box" types.
An inside the box thinker may have a gut level negative reaction to an outside the box thinker merely because of the out of the box thinker appears to flaunt all that the inside the box thinker holds dear.
A lot of what Jonah may call "conservative character values" may be nothing more than the qualities he holds dear as a conventional person.
Trump is by his very nature an outside the box thinker--a creative thinker.
It is this quality--among others--that has led him to success in business.
As a final note, you will notice that "outside the box" thinkers have no in noticeable inherent dislike for "inside the box" thinkers.
I am not sure why that is.
As an "outside the box" thinker myself, it may be because "inside the box" thinkers do not represent a threat but may instead appears as easy prey.
