Sheriff Joe talks About What Trump Did When Mrs. Arpaio Was Sick

We’ve all seen the gruff, bare-knuckled exterior of Donald J. Trump as he’s made his way towards being the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. However, according to Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, there’s a softer side that America doesn’t get to see quite as often.

The veteran lawman and noted immigration hawk addressed plenty of pressing current events during an appearance on Milo Yiannopoulos’ Breitbart podcast, but perhaps the most surprising was what The Donald did for Arpaio’s wife when she was sick in the hospital.

“He’s got a heart. My wife fell very sick four months ago, and Donald heard that and he called her for six minutes, and then called her again,” Arpaio said, adding that the calls took place before national television interviews.

“He didn’t have to hook through my wife, he already had me hooked. (Those calls) were from the heart.”

For those of you who aren’t terribly good at math, four months ago would be right in the run up to the first primary states — Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. That’s during a time when a candidate’s time is micromanaged down to minutes, not just hours.

Trump could have been preparing for the interviews. He could have been practicing his lines or tweeting. Instead, Trump still took time out to call not just an ally, but one of his ally’s wives.

And indeed, Sheriff Joe has been one of Trump’s most ardent supporters from the beginning. Given that Arpaio is one of the best-known opponents of illegal immigration in the country and that it’s an issue Trump is easily considered to be the top candidate on, it seems unlikely the Arizona lawman would have defected.

Arpaio also talked of going to his first Trump rally, back when no politician “wanted to go near him.” However, he also noted that he was swamped by the 10,000 Trump supporters who had showed up for the event.

Perhaps that’s why Sheriff Joe remains solidly and enthusiastically behind Trump.

“Trump will fight for what is right, he’ll be a great president,” Arpaio said. “He’s the only one who can beat Hillary Clinton, I guarantee you. I’m with him to the bitter end.”
