Donald: Let Them Eat Steak

16. why should The Donald get into a bidding war to give charity to an old man that squandered away his fortune? and why should The Donald be required to shake dirty peasant hands? if someone else is buying the house, then Ed is off the hook and doesn't need the charity anyway. The Donald owes him NOTHING!

17. WHATEVER-This crybaby was all over getting sympathy and Donald took the bait and offered him a place for life. My opinion he did not include a place for life for the (cough cough) "young" wife for life, and and a black Am Ex card so they got their panties in a bind and did not accept the offer. Donald could have made it work if he wanted too but why bother. Donald did nothing wrong....or maybe the deal did not include paying off the drugstore bill! Move on to something else TMZ this is old news now.

18. Hey, message to "Make the right choice"

Obama is the only choice available to responsible, engaged and informed citizens. The Republicans have drifted into absurdity under the neo-con influence that has allowed insider corporations, the Mossad and European financiers to pull the strings at the Pentagon. AND YOU WANT THE US TO BE RUN BY MCCAIN/LEIBERMAN? That's insane!

19. take the politics elsewhere. the choice is clear - an old Israel first warmonger or a bought and paid for affirmative action sellout....pick either one and we all still lose

20. IS THAT WHY YOU COME ON HERE TO JUSGE OTHERS OPINIONS OR TO COMMENT THE STORIES?
YES

Sorry, you got so defensive. That wasn't my intention.

21. Donald should think before he speaks because now he had to stick his foot in his mouth...don't say it if you don't mean it.

22. Holly,
9. I MEAN REALLY NO 2 (SUSAN) THIS BIG STORY ON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND SOMEONE LOSING THEIR HOME AND YOUR COMMENT IS ABOUT ME

Yes, I find you interesting and it makes me realize how jaded I have become. When it comes to dt, it will inevitable be self-serving, at any cost (emotional). I feel he will do anything for a buck and if he can profit personally... then all the better. He does Nothing (imo) that isn't intended to boost his exposure and put him in a positive light.
Thank you Holly for the challenge, as it caused me to re-think my position on dt.

24. Holly says, I HATE WHEN PEOPLE COMMENT OTHERS COMMENTS>

I bet you wouldn't mind if I had agreed with you though.....huh?
Thank you for challenging me to rethink my position on dt. IMO, he does nothing that isn;t self-serving and seized any opportunity that suggest that he is compassionate.

25. Hope Ed's making out on the house deal. There are condos, less pricey. He's cool to me.

26. I was a publicist for most of my adult life. Donald Trump has a huge team of PR people. He doesn't have to sit around and think of ways to get more publicity. The public feeds into this machine. We enjoy this that is why there are so many responses on here. It's fun to do. Ed is not going to live in the street. No matter what machinations went behind where they are now. He will have a roof over his head. Perhaps not this one, but there will be a very large, comfortable roof over his head. Don't believe 3/4 of what you read. Though, TMZ does tend to check their facts and I don't ever remember reading a made up story or a lie. So take this all with a grain of salt. Donald Trump enjoys this. Publicity is a game for him, not a way to make money. He is a business man. Whether you like him or not, it's business.

27. I know this will sound naive, but, Donald, why don't you help Ed get into another house? That makes me sad that Ed will have to move...

28. Donald Trump is a bigger publicity whore than Dr. Phil if that's possible. He wanted the home at way below market value and dam Ed McMahon. He would'nt pull Ed McMahon out of the way of a speeding locomotive if it means that he would lose a dollar. Since Ed has to move why don't THE DONALD set him up in one of his luxury apartments in one of his buildings, since he is so generous.

29. Ed should move out of that palace and into a small condominium or assisted living. The wife will leave Ed after he moves out of the mansion.
