One story that comes to mind is from back in 1986 when a man named Joe O’Donnell was beaten and left for dead in New York City’s Central Park. Trump, who owned a luxury hotel near the park, saw the story in the newspaper and was moved to action. He called O’Donnell’s family and offered to pay for all of his medical bills and expenses, which amounted to tens of thousands of dollars.

Trump also donated to a reward fund to help catch the perpetrators, and even offered to personally pay for the legal defense of one of the falsely accused suspects, who he believed was innocent. Eventually, the true culprits were caught and convicted, and O’Donnell recovered from his injuries.
