In a recent visit to Uniondale, New York, former President Donald Trump drew a crowd of thousands, with New Yorkers queuing for hours to see him.
This marked his second significant campaign appearance in a state where Republicans have struggled to gain traction since 1988. The event saw an overwhelming demand for tickets, with 60,000 requests for a venue that could only accommodate 16,000.
According to Gateway Pundit, during the pre-rally interviews, Real Americas Voice captured a poignant moment with a rally attendee. The man recounted a touching story about Fred Trump, the father of the former President, and the profound impact the Trump family had on his life.
He began, I have an amazing story to tell you real quick about what President Trumps father, Fred Trump, did for myself, for my brother, for my sister, for my mother. He went on to describe a time in 1974 when his father had suffered a major heart attack. He and Donald Trump attended the same school, the Kew-Forest School.
He continued, Three days after my fathers burial, there was a knock on the door. One school morning, at 7:00 AM, I answered the door. It was a distinguished gentleman. I was 10 years old. My father just died. The man at the door introduced himself as Fred Trump, Donald's father.
The rallygoer quoted Fred Trump as saying, Yes, Mrs.(undistinguishable), very sorry about Josephs death. What you dont know is Im still on the board of trustees at the Key-Forest School. This morning, I let headmaster Mr. Philip Rogers know that from this day forward, myself, Fred Trump, out of my own pocket, is going to pay for your three childrens tuition because I dont want the kids have to go back into the public school system.'
He highlighted the generosity of the gesture, stating, The tuition in 1974 was $2,500 per child, $7,500, which is about $80,000, $100,000 in todays money. He added, Who would do that except the President Trump father? The fruit doesnt fall far from the tree, and they give the Trump family grief.
The man praised the Trump family, saying, The Trump family is a wonderful family, the entire family. He contrasted this with his perception of current President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting they would not have made a similar gesture.
In a heartfelt conclusion, he expressed his admiration for the Trump family, saying, I love you, Donald. I wish I could shake your hand. It was my mothers last dying wish to shake your hand and to thank your father, Fred Trump, for what he did for us kids in 1974 in Forest Hills, New York.
This story, shared by President Trump on Truth Social, underscores the deep connection some Americans feel with the Trump family, and the lasting impact of their actions on the lives of ordinary citizens. It serves as a reminder of the importance of personal narratives in shaping public perception and political allegiance.
