Trump Mortgage is closing its doors less than two years after it began. The venture got off to a rocky start when it turned out the man tapped to run it, E.J. Ridings, had inflated his credentials.
According to The New York Post:
Trump played down his role in Trump Mortgage, saying it was just a licensing deal and he didn't have an ownership stake.
Trump is, however, licensing his name to First Meridian Mortgage, a lender that is being renamed Trump Financial.
Of course, Trump was talking about that when Trump Mortgage was going to be the next big thing.
