Trump has Compassion and Empathy

Donald Trump Suddenly Stops Rally and Asks for 'a Doctor, Please!'

President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, abruptly stopped his campaign rally in Asheboro, North Carolina, on Wednesday to ask the crowd for "a doctor, please" after an attendee appeared to need medical attention.

Greg Kruse on Swamp Drainers summed up the incident perfectly:

"After several pauses, Trump clapped along with the crowd. He then moved past the bulletproof glass surrounding his podium and, escorted by Secret Service agents, walked toward the area where the attendee was receiving medical attention.

Trump greeted and hugged the person, who was seen holding a water bottle. He returned to behind the bulletproof glass at the podium amid chants of "We love Trump," and then thanked the crowd. He continued his speech, which was focused on national security.

On Wednesday, The Texas GOP applauded Trump's call for medical help at his rally at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame. The state Republican branch wrote on social media: "Trump just stopped his whole rally to make sure one of the people in the audience was okay after there were shouts for a doctor in the crowd. What a genuinely good guy."

Father Rasmus' invocation fell on deaf ears with Trio

Comment Up

Rev. Paul A. Rasmus

 St. Andrews Episcopal Church
Father Paul is a graduate of the School of Theology at the University of the South and has been serving as a priest in the Diocese of Southeast Florida since 1977.  This is the sixth year that Father Paul has been at St. Andrew's.  He is Chair of the Diocesan Commission on Ministry and is a member of the Diocesan Task Force for Addiction and Recovery. 

On Tuesday night at the Lake Worth City Commission meeting, Father Rasmus gave the invocation. He was invited to speak by Commissioner McVoy. Unfortunately, a trio of commissioners as well as many residents in the chamber did not listen. They had more fun taking their political pot shots,  condemning McVoy and Maier for not answering an e-mail invitation to walk with some of the downtown merchants. Some residents hit hard on the homeless implying they all have a choice and can be just like they are even bringing in a few success stories. The Mayor demanded that residents speak to the Resolution on opening and closing hours of our public spaces, not the Ordinance, even though one is not effective without the other.

Creator of the universe sent down upon us as citizens and office holders of this community of Lake Worth, the spirit of wisdom, charity, compassion and justice, so that with steadfast purpose, we may faithfully work with one another to advance the well-being of all people. Give us grateful hearts and ever remind us of the many blessings we receive on a daily basis. All this we ask in Your most holy name. Amen.
Father Rasmus
