Like the homeless woman who has been living in Trump Tower for the last 8 years. Donald happened to be there the day the police were called because this woman had snuck in and was sleeping in the hallways. He gave her a room with room service and told the manager to let her stay. 8 years ago.
That homeless woman living in Trump tower has been proven to be false....LOLOLOLOLOL....

Trump Hotels spokeswoman Jennifer Rodstrom says the woman is not a guest at the Trump International Hotel and Tower.

Infowars claims the story is unconfirmed (that's code for they can't find any evidence to prove it and given that this Miss Rodstrom -- who works for Trump says it is false.

Story of Trump letting homeless woman live in hotel is false | FOX2now.com

And no -- he's not known for his charity at all. He's known as one of the stingiest billionaires.

Sorry -- google a little it might help you with your claims.

LOL... since when has Donald Trump ever showed the slightest bit of empathy for another human being? The only thing he cares about is himself.

This Charlie Gard thing is compassion for the cameras and is purely a political ploy. He's literally exploiting this family.

They may have to wait a few months for elective surgery like knee replacements, but at least they won't have to declare bankruptcy next week, if they can get it two days from now, here in greedy, profit-driven America!

The VA is not a single payer plan, so that is that for that. You are talking Elective surgery, how about we look at how many people in Canada or Europe file for bankruptcy due to overwhelming medical bills. While you are at it look up how the US before Obamacare, heck even with it, stacked up against the healthcare provided in single payer systems, we were the most expensive and not the best rated. Not to worry, the Repubs are going to kill Obamacare, eventually, maybe, and install a new system, one where only the young and very healthy and the rich will be able to afford any sort of viable coverage, the rest up us will just be screwed.

Sounds like you need to move to Canada, too.

Here in America we take care of ourselves and don't depend on government handouts.
