Report: Donald Trump Leaves $10,000 Tip on $82 Bill

A very heart-warming story for the Holidays. From Fox News:

Donald Trump isn't a cheapskate when it comes to good service.



The real-estate mogul left a $10,000 tip on an $82.27 bill Monday at a restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif., Derober.com reports.

Billy D., a waiter at the Buffalo Club, got the gargantuan tip after the Donald complimented him on his dinner service, Derober.com reported. Trump and a colleague had dined on pasta and soup with cappuccinos for dessert.

“What’s the biggest tip you ever got?” Trump reportedly asked Billy.



Jerry Bruckheimer comes in a lot," Billy responded. "He tipped me $500 on a $1,000 check once.”



You’re very good at your job," Trump then told the waiter.

When the down-on-his-luck waiter saw the tip Trump left, he couldn't believe it, the site reported.



"I actually tried calling his office to say thanks, which is impossible," he told Derober.com. "So if you’re reading this, Mr. Trump, thank you!”



Let's all try to give all year, every year, to all of those that may need help, that could use it. Not just during this Holiday time. Everybody occasionally falls on "hard-times."



That's what makes the United States the greatest nation in the world. We are the largest philanthropists in the world.



Let's stop to remember that, during all of this rancor, bitter political divide, and terrible global instability, that we are all in this ship together. United we stand, divided we fall.
