How am I just finding out that Trump went out of his way to send his plane to pick up Nelson Mandela after he was released from prison?
Mandela wanted to come to the US but had no way of flying, so Trump stepped up and provided him with one of his planes.
"After feverish and failed negotiations with everyone from the U.S. government to private charter operators, the unlikely benefactor has turned out to be none other than Donald Trump."
Here's the reality:
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.
