From a friend:
I decided to look up just one of the claims in this .... Ed McMahon (dying of cancer) story... I picked it at random because I recognized the name... hardly a pauper, but I guess he had a standard of living to uphold.
Anyhoo... I found this... not exactly as described by this article...
https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-DVB-3528It was some other fellow that bought the mortgage (and it was an investment, not so much charity).... Trump poked and farted around some, but didn't actually do anything beyond buy McMahon's family some time. It wasn't like they (Trump or the fellow that actually bought the mortgage) were buying out the debt so they (widow) could keep the house, they (other fellow that bought the home for the mortgage) were intending to own it the whole time. I imagine Ed's wife lived elsewhere soon after Ed died (don't know if she is still alive or not).

I decided to look up another of the stories.... About the father receiving $25,000.00 from Trump... and yes the father of the fallen soldier did receive the money, but only after months passed and the press questioned Trump about the money did Trump date and sign a check for that amount. Would Trump of sent the money without his feet being held to the fire? You decide.
