A Memphis woman whose nephew beat cancer said she’s experienced hateful online attacks because she thanked Eric Trump for his commitment to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Last month, Sherrie Hopper thanked the president’s son for his support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital of Tennessee on Twitter, and said she and her family are “eternally grateful” for his commitment.
Eric Trump has reportedly raised more than $16 million for the hospital over the past 10 years.
After Trump shared the post, Hopper posted a video for the “#WalkAway Campaign” saying that the “hate” her family has received online is “unreal.”
“We already went through hell. We don’t need you. We don’t need this,” Hopper said, noting some on Twitter accused her of being a “Russian bot.”
Trump thanked Hopper on Monday, tweeting that “nothing is off limits for some.”- READ MORE
[divider][/divider]According to the Washington Examiner, Eric Trump quite literally placed his life at risk on Wednesday to assist a woman who had passed out and suffered a medical emergency at a train station in New York City.
Trump and his protective detail were passing by the F Station near 6th Avenue and 57th Street when they noticed the woman and stopped to try and render aid.
A witness who talked to the Examiner, and who preferred to remain anonymous, told the newspaper that the son of the president then noticed an ambulance that was passing by the scene and rushed out into the middle of traffic in a bid to flag it down.
“I watched as Eric looked up, spotted an ambulance slowly passing by on 6th, ran into traffic — almost getting hit by a bicyclist — and shouted at the ambulance to get its attention,” the witness told the Examiner.
“Not sure if the ambulance had been called for or if Eric managed to hail one out of the blue, but in any case his sense of urgency was clear and he succeeded in getting the paramedics to stop and tend to the woman,” the witness added.
As for Eric Trump himself, he downplayed his role in the event when asked by the Examiner and gave full credit to the team of paramedics on the ambulance that he had flagged down.
“I’m glad we were able to play a small role in getting help for the woman on 58th Street,” he told the Examiner. “We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I’m especially grateful to the EMTs who took over. – READ MORE
