Remember That One Time Donald Trump Stopped A Bat-Wielding Attacker?

The other day, President Trump stirred up a bunch of controversy after saying that he “probably” would’ve ran into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the massacre.

“You don’t know until you test it, but I think, I really believe I’d run in there, even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that too,” Trump said.

People are mocking Trump, but the truth is, you never know how you’ll react until you’re in that situation. We don’t REALLY know what he’d do, and that’s that.

Those remarks inspired people to dig for Trump’s past acts of heroism. Looks like they found one.

One time, he actually stopped a bat-wielding attacker. This Daily News article was originally published over 25 years ago, on November 20, 1991.

Call it The Donald to The Rescue.

When he saw “a big guy with a big bat” bashing another fellow, Donald Trump did what any self-respecting billionaire would do: He ordered his driver to pull over.

“I’m not looking to play this thing up,” Trump said yesterday. “I’m surprised you found out about it.”

Witnesses said Trump, with Marla Maples tugging at his arm to try to stop him, leaped from his black stretch limousine Monday evening during the assault on Ninth Ave. near 45th St.

Brutal-looking

“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.”

Trump was at first reluctant to discuss his daredevil deed, but then he warmed to the task.

“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.”

Trump said the incident occurred at 8 p.m. as he, Maples and another couple were heading toward the Lincoln Tunnel on their way to the Meadowlands in New Jersey for a Paula Abdul concert.

Kathleen Romeo, a 16-year-old student at St. Michael’s Academy in Manhattan, said cries of “There’s Trump!” went through the crowd of onlookers.

“A lot of people were surprised that he got out to see what was happening,” Romeo said, adding that the bat-wielder ran off just before Trump actually appeared, and that Trump, “just looked around and went back into his limo.”

But another witness, who asked not to be identified, said. “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.”

Trump said the bat-man delivered at least “five or six good whacks” before he interceded.

Trump said he left the site only after he saw a man who appeared to be a doctor treating the victim and heard that an ambulance was on its way.

Does this prove Trump would run into the building? No, but it does show that he has exhibited a similar reaction in a potentially dangerous situation before. I know it’s not the same level, but it’s still worth noting. *shrugs*
