President Donald Trump has shared a viral social media post claiming that he purchased Ed McMahon’s home in 2008, saving the television personality and comedian from losing it to foreclosure, and allowing him to live their rent-free for the remainder of his life.
The story shared by Trump is untrue, with no evidence that Trump bought McMahon’s property or leased it back to him free of charge. Contemporaneous reporting, as well as statements from McMahon’s representatives and family, contradict the claim.
Trump did publicly express an intention to help Ed McMahon during his foreclosure issues, but didn't buy the home or provide free lifetime housing as claimed in the post shared on Sunday. Additionally, the assertion that the media ignored Trump’s efforts is untrue, as his publicized offers were widely reported on at the time by outlets including CNBC and Reuters.

Seems he did try, another buyer stepped in, that fell through and McMahon never contacted Trump to ask him to try again.
So even you agree Trump's claim is not true. Wanting to help is not the same as actually helping and everyon agrees he didn't actually help
DeleteHe probably remembers making the offer and just assumes it went through.
DeleteInteresting that you don't appreciate that he made the offer in the first place.
Wow you think his mind is failing.
DeleteBragging about helping when he didn't actually help is not something which is viewed as a good sign or something to be appreciated.
