Sounds like a win-win scenario with the Donald...
question is why is Ed McMahon at 85 and
still carrying a huge mortgage and not
living in some paid off property already?

Trump has been watching Fox News and got a whiff of the Reverse Mortgage caper that’s advertised over and over . . .

Saw Ed interviewed a few weeks ago. he said that his wealth was dissipated by several divorces and some unwise investments. He was doing okay until he broke his neck a year or so ago and could not work for an extended time. He sounds liek many people, living beyond their means or at the limit of them and then — pop — something bad happens and they are financially under water fairly quickly.

Unlike his old buddy Johnny Carson, who really invested his money well, Ed spent like no tomorrow, was on his third or fourth wife, and made horrible investment decisions including backing his current wife in several bad business ventures.
Although I love nostalgia and remember “The Johnny Carson Show” fondly I have tears no for Ed. At least Trump may be helping Ed out as opposed to other Hollywood types who said they would help out like Steven Spielberg and friends.
