There is the one challenge question that is guaranteed to baffle Trump cult members. Look them in the eye and ask: Tell me one nice thing Donald Trump has ever done for another person in his entire life. There is only one true answer: he has never ever in his life helped or done anything nice for anyone other than himself.

I did ask this question to some Trumpies and they referenced a couple of nice things Trump is reported to have done: allowing a black, homeless woman to live rent-free for years in one of his hotels, and a former Miss Wisconsin who praised Trump publicly on TV for helping her and her son when they were in terrible shape. They do sound like nice gestures, but the evidence behind them is questionable. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/black-homeless-woman-says-trump-allowed-live-trump-tower-rent-free

Snopes: MIXTURE:   Donald Trump paid to ensure a Mexican-American boy statement about Trump and a Mexican-American boy refers to Melissa Young, a former beauty pageant contestant and Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005, who told Trump during a campaign stop on 30 March 2016 that she was suffering from a terminal illness. Although Young later thanked Trump for his support and said that he had enabled her young Mexican-American son to go to college, she was referring to donations made through Fundanything.com, a Kickstarter-like crowdfunding site launched by Trump, and not a personal contribution from the candidate:

“As my body is getting weaker, I am unsettled by the fact that I have never been able to directly thank you. Because of you and your efforts, my son Jack who is Mexican-American, has a chance at a better future and a solid education. You and the Miss USA pageant played a tremendous role in my life.

“About 3 years ago, Chelsea was in NYC and attended one of your many functions at Trump Tower, where you debuted FundAnything.com. This turned out to be a life changing event for my son and I. I am forever indebted to you.”

During the site’s launch Trump reportedly promised he would fully fund some FundAnything projects himself, but we found nothing indicating he had personally funded Young’s endeavor.
