Trump Denies Trump National Doral Miami Has A Bed Bug Infestation. Yet, He Settled A Lawsuit That Claims It Does President Trump sparked higher than normal discomfort among America’s closest allies at the G7 Conference. America’s wackiest president made a bizarre attempt to host the  2020 G7 summit  at Trump National Doral Miami. Trump claimed that Trump National Doral Miami would be the best because of its proximity to Miami’s airport. He also claimed it sports “spectacular” bungalows. He claimed that government experts had agreed with his opinion after reviewing several options. However, Trump did not name the experts. The proposal  was met with ridicule  which immediately escalated. It wasn’t long before someone on social media discovered Trump’s “tremendous” resort was sued in 2016. The 4-star resort was sued  over a bed bug infestation and #TrumpBedBugs soon began to trend on Twitter. The ridicule annoyed the President to the point that he responded to it on Twitter

HGTV Reality Shows Are As Fake As A $3 Bill Let’s face it, most people are idiots. They believe what they see on TV. Case in point, I used to get calls from people all the time who thought because they watched four episodes of the Apprentice, they can make millions of dollars in real estate like Trump. The explosion of HGTV reality shows over the past decade has made thousands of people believe they are real estate and home renovation gurus. However, people fail to understand that reality shows are not based on reality. HGTV reality shows make it appear that any chimpanzee with a hammer can do it. Sure, the shows have real people living real lives and doing real things but aren’t quite so real. Producers go to great lengths to create these fake reality shows and try to keep the truth hidden from viewers. They also stage scenes and write scripts. Producers also edit situations to make good people look bad, and rude people look nice. Read more at MFI-Miami

What You Need to Know About Successful Mortgage Loan Modifications That Crazy Activist Types Don’t Know First off, let’s get one thing straight. Mortgage loan modifications are probably your best option if you are in foreclosure. Why? It’s extremely unlikely that you’re not going to score a debt-free house in your foreclosure. Even if you win, your lender will keep coming after you. Especially, if you are in a judicial foreclosure state. The odds are 1:5 that a judge will throw out your foreclosure with dismissal with prejudice. That is if you have a lawyer who knows what he or she is doing. Your chances of scoring a free house are 1:150 if you are following the gobbledegook from  Neil Garfield’s Living Lies  website. The odds are about 1:200 if you follow  convicted mortgage fraudster Dave Krieger  and his  Clouded Title mumble-jumble .  Read more at MFI-Miami
