I dont think it falls in the "right thing" category.
That was a favour for a friend.
Nothing much else to say about it.
So I am not moving any goalposts here.

not for a friend but rather for someone who would be very useful in courting millions of fans of UFC
To be fair when he did the favour, UFC wasn't very big and was in the fringes.
Trump was also not running for President.
But yeah, its got nothing to do with doing the right thing.
Apart from worshiping at the feet of The King of Kings, MAGAs don't know what they want.
From the selection of Trump's cabinet, they are getting a libertarian oligarchy.
If he did the right thing, he could easily repair his image and become liked especially since he can't run again unless he tries to do away with the 22nd amendment as well to be able to stay in power. I suspect he will do the latter as opposed to the right thing because it's the Trumpian thing to do.
You said so.
But we dont know if they were friends or not.
We are not privy to such information.
The bottom line is at the very least, Dana, a business man was helped by Trump, another business man.
Heck even if I was wrong about their friendship what I said stands.
It does not fall in the category of doing the right thing.
It wouldn't have been wrong for Trump to refuse as he did not owe Dana anything. (friend or not).
You are using the wrong example.
Not really. He was anti-Trump, anti-Biden, and anti-capitalism.
I would label him more apolitical

It keeps coming out. Apolitical? Nope. Just not a cookie cut left or right. He is a populist.Not really. He was anti-Trump, anti-Biden, and anti-capitalism.

Something interesting someone said was he was 26. 25 is the cut off age for when someone can stay on a parents health insurance.
Speaking of his parents, can you imagine what his Sicilian family had to do to build what they built and to afford to send him to those best schools that he went to
Okay, but then he's not a "a right wing sided person" like you said in your previous post
Initial reporting suggested it due to who he was retweeting. It's now further evolving. Is following RFK Jr left in right? I think the definitions are getting murky now. The Elites are throwing labels out to discredit anything they don't like to divide things.
Cripes MAHA is a movement toward healthier living, eliminating chemicals in foods. But it's also about vaccine hesitation, so what is it?
His reasons for killing
www.dailymail.co.uk
One theory is that the the former valedictorian killed Thompson, 50, as an 'act of war' after the company 'violated' its contract with his mother who suffered years of excruciating pain and expense following a diagnosis of severe neuropathy.
Mangione had written in an alleged document, obtained by true crime podcast Hidden True Crime, that his mother, 'hit her $6,000 deductible of her UnitedHealthcare plan in October. Then the doctor went on vacation and my mother wasn't able to resume tests until January when her deductible reset.'
'Back then I thought there was nothing I could do,' Mangione allegedly wrote. 'The high co-pays make consistent treatment impossible, new treatments were denied as not necessary medically, the old treatments didn't work and still put us out for thousands of dollars.'
'With every delay, my anger surged. With every denial, I wanted to throw the doctor through the glass wall of their hospital waiting room, but it wasn't them.
'It wasn't the doctors, the receptionists, administrators, pharmacists, imaging technicians or anyone we ever met. What it was it was UnitedHealthcare.'
In Mangione's alleged summary, UnitedHealthcare, 'think because [their conduct] is legal no-one can punish them.'
He wrote: 'We entered into an agreement for healthcare with a legally binding contract that promised care commensurate with our insurance payments and medical needs. Then UnitedHealthcare changed the rules to suit their own profits.'
Mangione goes on to reference his own 'chronic back pain' – a result of a surgery following a surfing accident – saying that now it is his own pain which 'wakes me in the night, screaming in pain.'
In his closing sentence, Mangione wrote: 'UnitedHealthcare…violated their contract with my mother, with me, and tens of millions of other Americans. This threat to my own health, my family's health and the health of this country's people requires me to respond with an act of war.'
