This is an excerpt from the beginning of Trump's book Art of the Deal:

10:00AM: I call Don Imus to thank him. Imus has one of the most successful radio shows on WNBC, and he's been helping me raise money for the Annabel Hill fund.

I'm amazing at how this has snowballed into such a media event. It began last week when I saw a national news report by Tom Brokaw about an adorable little lady from Georgia, Mrs. Hill, who was trying to save her farm from being foreclosed. Her sixty-seven year old husband committed suicide, hoping his life insurance would save the farm, which has been in the family for generations.

Insurance proceeds weren't enough. It was a very sad situation, and I was moved. Here were people who'd worked very hard their whole lives only to see it all crumble before them. To me, it just seemed wrong.

Through NBC I was put in touch with Frank Argenbright who became very involved with trying to help Mrs. Hill. Frank directed me to Mr. Hill's mortgage.

The next morning I called the vice president, explained I was interested in helping Mrs. Hill. He told me that he was sorry but it was too late. They were going to "auction the farm and nothing could stop it."

That really got me going. I said: "You listen to me. If you do foreclose, I'll personally bring a lawsuit for murder against you and your bank, on the grounds that you harassed Mrs. Hill's husband to his death."

All of a sudden the bank officer sounded very nervous and said he'd get right back to me.

Sometimes it pays to be a little wild.

An hour later I get a call back from the bankster who said, "Don't worry. We're gonna work it out Mr. Trump!"

By the end of the week, we'd raised 40,000. Imus alone raised 20,000 through his listeners. I promised Mrs. Hill if we didn't raise all the money she needed, I'd make up the difference.
