In a heartfelt revelation, television personality Kathie Lee Gifford has expressed her enduring gratitude to former President Donald Trump for his intervention during a perilous situation over three decades ago.
Gifford recounted how Trump safeguarded her family when a "psychopathic murderer" threatened her and her newborn daughter.
During an emotional interview on "The Sage Steele Show," Gifford shared, "And this is why I will love this man for my whole life," referring to Trump. As reported by Breitbart, the incident occurred in 1993 when Gifford was preparing to host the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City.
Her late husband, Frank Gifford, a former NFL star and sports announcer, received a chilling call from the FBI. "The FBI called my husband, and they said, Mr. Gifford, we have a problem. Theres this guy. This is a very, very bad human being. [He] was a psychopathic murderer. A rapist and murderer. And hes coming to get your wife, she recounted.
In response to the threat, Frank Gifford reached out to Trump, who owned the Miss America franchise at the time. Trump assured him, "Frank, dont you worry about it. Ive got your girls. Ive got your girls. And dont you worry." Demonstrating his commitment, Trump arranged for a helicopter to transport the Gifford family to Atlantic City. Upon their arrival, four security guards were stationed to ensure their safety, with one guard posted outside Gifford's hotel room throughout her stay.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Gifford chose to keep the story private for many years, wary of the political implications, particularly concerning Trump. "I would cringe at times. I would go, Donald no, no, she admitted during the interview. Thats not the man I knew, you know? But the story I just told you is the man I know."
Gifford's account highlights a side of Trump that is often overshadowed by political discourse. Her testimony underscores the importance of personal experiences in shaping one's perspective, offering a glimpse into the character of a man who, in her eyes, acted with decisive care and protection during a moment of crisis.
