Den originale artikel, "Voldsmand stampet ud: Donald stopper angreb," skrevet af stabsskribent for Daily News, James Rosen, er stadig på Philly.com, men med titlen, "Trump slår en ville-være voldsmand ud."
"Jeg prøver ikke på at gøre et stort nummer ud af det," sagde Trump den 20. Nov., 1991, i rapporten. "Jeg er overrasket over at du hørte om det."
I hændelsen beordrede Trump sin chauffør til at holde over til siden efter at han så "en stor fyr med et stort bat" banke løs på en anden person.
En gammel kopi af artiklen gik onsdag viral på Reddit's The Donald Subreddit.

"Someone in the car looked over and said, 'Gee, look at that, it's a mugging,' " Trump said. "I said to my driver to stop the car because it was brutal-looking."
Witnesses told the Daily News that Trump got out of his black stretch limousine on Monday during the assault in Manhattan. Marla Maples, who was married to Trump in the '90s, was seen grabbing his arm.
"The guy with the bat looked at me, and I said, "Look, you've gotta stop this. Put down the bat,"' Trump said. "I guess he recognized me because he said, 'Mr. Trump, I didn't do anything wrong.' I said, 'How could you not do anything wrong when you're whacking a guy with a bat?' Then he ran away."
Kathleen Romeo, a student at the time, said a bunch of people cried: "There's Trump!" when he got out.
"A lot of people were surprised that he got out to see what was happening," Romeo said, adding that the bat-wielder ran off right before he appeared. Trump then "just looked around and went back into his limo," she said.
But another witness supported Trump.
"All of a sudden, a big long limousine pulls up on an angle, and Donald Trump pops out with the blond, too," the unnamed witness added. "There was a guy with a bat, hitting a guy over the head, and Trump yelled, 'Put that bat down. What are you doing?' The guy dropped the bat, came over and started talking to him."
The attack wasn't ever reported to police.
Also in 1991, Trump delivered a speech to the House on "economic recovery." The clip has since gone viral on YouTube amid Trump's run for president.
Kommentar: Gør det Trump til en helgen? Nej, men det er en stærk kontrast til kaglen ved mordet på Gaddafi fra Hillary Clinton. Hvis blot Trumps politikker vil vise blot en smule forståelse for de svageste i samfundet som er blevet presset af eliten i årtier. Det er noget tiden vil vise, men lad nu først manden have en mulighed for at komme i embedet.
