Did Donald Trump Pay Off a Good Samaritan's Mortgage?
Updated version of old urban legend claims Trump rewarded a stranger who helped him change a flat tire by paying off that helpful person's mortgage.
Published March 3, 1998

Reputed to have come from Donald Trump's publicity people,

Eyebrows should have been raised by this tale, as even back in the mid-1990s it was already a recognized urban legend that had been told about many other celebrities.

The tale's details are fuzzy, too: one version has the event occurring while Donald Trump was married to Ivana and driving in Michigan, yet other versions place it during his marriage to Marla and had him driving in New Jersey or in Canada near Casino Niagara.

"We've heard the story," said an irritated-sounding assistant of Mr. Trump's at his New York office. "No, it isn't true."

Trump's first wife, Ivana, could — and indeed did — change a tire when sidelined with a flat, making it all the more surprising Trump's chauffeur lacked this skill yet apparently kept his job (especially in light of his employer's notorious impatience with those who fail to perform).

Obviously Liz Crokin missed some other details about Trump's deeds, doesn't say much for her journalists abilities.

Witness: Trump also raped 12-year-old -- and used her disappearance to threaten another victim

Ivana Trump (1989)
The allegation: In her 1990 divorce deposition, Ivana Trump accused her soon-to-be ex-husband of raping her in a fit of rage the previous year. Harry Hurt III obtained the papers, and described Ivana’s account in his 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives ofDonald J. Trump. According to Hurt, Ivana said her husband raped her after a doctor she recommended gave him an unexpectedly painful “scalp reduction” operation to eliminate a bald spot. Hurt said Ivana described her husband yanking out a handful of her hair, holding her hands back, and tearing her clothing.
“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than 16 months. Ivana is terrified … It is a violent assault,” Hurt wrote. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”

An AI answer simply says there is "no evidence". In 1995 there would not be a paparazzi noting everything Trump did. As I read it Trump did these thing low key.

In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. According to the story, Trump asked the motorist how he could repay him for his help. The motorist only asked for a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later, Trump sent the flowers along with a note saying he had paid off the motorist's mortgage. However, there are conflicting reports about the truth of this story. An assistant at Trump's New York office in 1997 told The Globe and Mail that the story was false. Additionally, a more recent fact-check from December 10, 2024, states there is no evidence that Trump paid off the motorist's mortgage.

Whatever, people write stories without confirmation. Is that Trump's fault.
