With Trump offering to help Ed McMahon avert foreclosure, do you think that Ed will be doing the right thing to do a RENT BACK? I got help from The Foreclosure Workbook and The Foreclosure DVD to help my Aunt stop foreclosure. It didn’t seem to be a good idea for her, as we learned from the Foreclosure DVD, and her house definately wasn’t worth $4.5 million. I think Ed and/or his representatives could benefit from ordering this foreclosure prevention system. My Aunt likes The Donald, but I don’t think he would have been able to capitalize on her after what we learned from the foreclosure workbook. She always says when people know better, they can do better. Hope Eds’ people read Bitten and Bound.

So the house has increased in value by only 3.5% pa over the last 18 years, just keeping pace with inflation! A great deal for Trump.

While I partially agree with this having something in it for him, Donald Trump has been known to bail people out before. There was an instance where his limo broke down and a mechanic happened to stop by and help. Donald offered him money and the mechanic turned it down. He then asked for the mechanics business card instead. He tracked him down and found that he was in a mortgage crisis himself. He paid the mortgage for the guy. This was publicized in the NY Daily news some years ago. Being rich does not = skeevy opportunistic. But in this case I can see why he would want some kind of return on the investment. But at the same time he bailed Ed McCmahon out of a tight spot. Win-win for both.

Awesome. No one can say that smart successful people don’t look after their own. Good for him!

So did Trump “literally” step in during 11AM or 11PM?

Don’t kid yourself, people. Donald Trump does not do shit unless there’s a lot for him in it. He’s not saving Ed McMahon’s ass, he’s investing in something that has value and will bring profit for him. Trump is a sneaky bastard and has great sense of seeing value where other people can’t see it.
