Time Text
I think this is the second time that Trump has cheated death.
The first time, as I detail in my book, The Making of the President 2016, How Donald Trump Orchestrated a Revolution, details that in the 80s, President Donald Trump, then businessman Donald Trump, was scheduled to fly from New York to Atlantic City by helicopter, in this particular case, using a leased helicopter, because Trump's own helicopter was in for service.
Trump is scheduled to fly to Atlantic City with all of the top executives of his casino development and management company.
At the last minute, I called Trump from Washington asking to see him on an urgent matter pertaining to upcoming currency transaction rules at the Treasury Department, and he decided that he would wait for me to meet with him in New York and that the helicopter would proceed to New Jersey, then come back and pick him up and take him to Atlantic City later.
I jumped immediately.
In those days, you didn't need a ticket.
You jumped on the Eastern Shuttle.
You could buy your ticket right there.
Flew immediately to New York.
Went directly to his office.
He had told me I had one hour before he left for Atlantic City, but it wasn't 10 minutes into our meeting that I heard people wailing in the hallways.
And his longtime assistant, Norma Federer, came in and said, Mr. Trump, I have horrific news.
The helicopter with our entire team Now, Donald Trump was supposed to be on that helicopter.
The tabloids try to say that that claim by Trump was made up.
It was not.
I was there.
I'm not saying that my request for the meeting saved his life, but I knew then that his life had been spared.
For some greater purpose.
This is now the second time that the hand of protection has extended over Donald Trump.
I think that the hand of God is on him.
But for a millimeter of an inch, he would be dead.
He turns his head, based on a video I've watched over and over and over again, he turns his head at exactly the crucial time to save his life.
