Trump made his only 9/11 donation to Scientology
'detox' center hyped by Tom Cruise for first responders: .

The Church of Scientology saw the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001,
as an opportunity to generate some good press coverage,
according to a new report.

A group of members who'd been demoted from the church's paramilitary Sea Organization to its punishing "Rehabilitation Project Force" was chipping tar from the seventh-floor roof of Scientology's building on 46th Street in New York City when they heard radio reports about planes striking the World Trade Center, and they were quickly called away to another task, reported Tony Ortega for The Daily Beast.

"At that point, the Sea Org went into emergency mode," said former member Bruce Hines, who had risen high in Scientology's ranks before he was exiled to the work detail. "We were called down and went to the CLO headquarters on 48th Street. It's between 8th and 9th Avenue."

The church sent Hines and his companions the next day to Ground Zero, where they joined other churches and organizations helping rescuers dig through the rubble for survivors or casualties.

"We were there supposedly to help the first responders, which we did do," Hine said.
"Some of the people I was with were heartfelt, wanting to help, but for the church overall,
it was a PR move."

Their work paid off in a major way, with a glowing report in the New York Times about their efforts, and Scientology leader David Miscavige started stepping up funding to the "Volunteer Ministers" who'd been responding to disasters since 1988, and set up a New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project to deliver the church's "Purif" program to first responders.
"It was one of those perfect PR positionings.
How can anyone attack that? "

"Was this Scientology trying to take advantage of a tragedy?
Of course it was," Rinder said.
"Just like the earthquake in Haiti. Everything is an opportunity
for a photo and a PR pitch.
And let's not forget, an opportunity for fundraising."

Donald Trump's  foundation made its only charitable donation to a 9/11-related cause to the detox center.

"Of all the ways that New Yorkers had given to charities
helping in the wake of the attacks,"

"Trump's outfit had made only a paltry $1,000 donation, and it was to the Tom Cruise detox clinic and its Purification Rundown."
