Below is a fascinating example of Trump supporters' fantasy world. They tell a story of Trump charity to Nelson Mandela that somehow has gone untold until now.
What actually happened was that Trump creditors seized his "Trump Shuttle" airline during Trump's first bankruptcy in summer 1990. The creditors leased Trump-branded planes to anyone who would pay a commercial rate, including Nelson Mandela's eight-city US tour that year.
No Trump did not have a trusted secret black woman senior executive at his side in his early years. pbs.org/newshour/polit…
No Trump did not single-handedly stop a mugging in NYC in 1991. The only source for that story was Trump himself. Other persons in the scene contradict Trump's version. businessinsider.com/trump-claims-h…
No Trump was not in the habit of secretly buying houses and donating the houses to veterans. In fact, Trump looted his own charitable foundation for his own benefit. npr.org/2019/11/07/777…
Trump doesn't give to charity; Trump steals from charity. Trump doesn't conceal genuine acts of heroism; Trump invents imaginary acts of heroism. Imagine the world's least generous, least compassionate, least truthful person - and you've imagined the reality.
Also, no Trump did not in any way help 9/11 victims. He did pocket $150,000 in federal grant money for lower Manhattan economic recovery.

Almost everything Trump says about what he said and did on 9/11 is a provable lie. forbes.com/sites/lisettev…
Trump's claim that he assisted at the 9/11 Ground Zero site is an especially audacious lie.
