Here’s How Trump Helped Hurricane Sandy Victims Have a Happy Thanksgiving (2012 -5 years ago!)
Five years ago, during one of the darkest Thanksgivings to hit the New York City area in recent years, one businessman made sure he did his part to help those who had lost so much after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the region — that man was President Donald Trump.
The storm, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo would estimate cost New York state almost $42 billion, struck the region on Oct. 29, 2012, causing extensive damage to New York City and Long Island.
As Thanksgiving neared, many residents of Long Island, where Sandy struck hard, were barely getting by.
Trump took action.
“600 holiday dinners just left ?#TrumpTower for PS 42 in the hard hit Rockaways. Our thoughts are w you and yours this holiday,” Donald Trump Jr. added.
Trump’s Thanksgiving effort that year was only one part of his commitment to helping the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
In October of 2012, after the storm caused massive flooding when it hit New York City, Trump opened Trump Tower to anyone in need of shelter, according to Business Insider.
“I have a staff that’s terrific and I have a building that was in great shape and has all sorts of equipment where it can keep going,” he said then.
“We invited the public in and we took care of the people and I’m very happy about that,” he added.

Here's Where New York's 1 Percent Sought Refuge After Hurricane Sandy
Oct. 31, 2012,
Trump's Tower fills with Sandy refugees.
Donald Trump has taken a rare step down from his political soap box to do some good for Hurricane Sandy survivors.
On Tuesday afternoon, Trump opened the atrium of his luxury Trump Hotel & Tower to hundreds of refugees, serving up free coffee and food throughout the day.
He Tweeted out the news around 1 p.m., and spread the word during an interview on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
"I have a staff that's terrific and I have a building that was in great shape and has all sorts of equipment where it can keep going," he told Fallon. "We invited the public in and we took care of the people and I'm very happy about that."
Like each state blasted by Sandy, there are plenty of free shelters available for evacuees. But it's nice to know there's somewhere to go for people looking for something more plush than a seat at an elementary school lunch table.
