As Trump is in the run for the US Presidency, stories about his past is blasting in the news (along side his non-sense propaganda) and one of those stories is a trip he did back in 1990.
Alex Connock, a young journalist back in the day was among Michael Jackson and Donald Trump for a little trip! What a scoop you tell me!
Back in the days, Donald Trump was a successful business man that Americans looked up to as one of the great American Success Stories!
The scoop was for the opening of the brand new Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City which was an expansion of Trump’s property empire. Connock was obviously there to cover the event and had a full guided tour of the hotel and Casino.
Then was announced the King of Pop himself and Connock recalled that his unannounced appearance caused a whirling sandstorm at the Taj Mahal.
Taking Michael by the arm, Trump steered him through the pandemonium on the ground floor. A comprehensive tour took in reception, a crowded escalator (I’ve no idea where it went), the football-field-sizedgaming floor and the 24-hour slots. The TV news guys rolled along euphorically to document the chaos, not quite believing their luck. At one point, if memory serves, we took refuge in a Chinese restaurant.
Connock said after that Michael retired to his suite and heard a rumour that he’d been spotted disguised as an old woman, playing the slots with a plastic bucket full of quarters.
Next day, Trump invited Connock for a trip with him and Michael Jackson in a private jet. During the trip Michael spoke to Trump about his cover on National Enquirer.
After landing in Indianapolis, they found out that the reason of the trip was that Michael wanted to visit a sick child.
The jet was loaned to Michael by Akio Morita, co-founder of Sony!
The good old days are gone!

It’s no wonder Michael never wanted to make a stand on politics (even though he made appearances for the Clintons). Can’t imagine he’d be happy to be associated with the type of politician Trump has become! But the most wonderful thing about this piece is the revelation that the plane trip was so that Michael could visit a sick child. Now THAT’S worth reading about. 🙂
The child was Ryan White.
I believe that Michael would still be friends with Mr. Trump. They both have in common a history of helping others. Like Michael, Donald is a humanitarian. He has done many kind deeds outside the public eye, and I dearly hope that he becomes President of the United States.
