VIDEO: David Trott’s profiteering on “human misery” is starting to get national attention

This past week, David Dayen wrote a tremendous piece for the New Republic titled, “Michigan’s ‘Foreclosure King’ Is Trying to Win a Seat in Congress”. It’s a remarkable piece particularly because he takes what is an incredibly complex and inscrutable process – home foreclosures – and does a Clintonesque explainer on it. In the process, he details just how unethical, […]

David Trott cashes out of the family business to try to hide from his role of parasitic leech on the jugular vein of society

There is no question that Republican 11th District Congressional candidate David Trott has gotten enormously wealthy at the misfortune of others. He has literally made millions upon millions of dollars from foreclosing on homes. Not only that, back in 2007, right as the subprime mortgage meltdown was beginning in earnest, Trott publicly endorsed them as “a perfectly appropriate product” that […]

The MI-11 Congressional race is one of the most interesting in the country

The MI-11 Congressional race is one of the most interesting in the country

The race for Michigan’s comically gerrymandered 11th district is one of the most interesting in the country. The story really started two years ago when Thad McCotter botched his reelection campaign by hiring some idiots who photocopied signatures for his nominating petitions and then proceeded to get busted by elections officials. If McCotter himself wasn’t a big enough oddball, his […]

Mitt Romney endorses David Trott for MI-11. Again.

Mitt Romney endorses David Trott for MI-11. Again.

If it seems like it was just a few weeks ago that Mitt Romney was endorsing millionaire vulture foreclosure specialist David Trott for Michigan’s 11th District, you’re right. But that didn’t stop Romney from swinging through Michigan for a do-over. Yesterday he was back in town to do it again for Trott who was part of Romney’s finance team during […]

Mitt Romney endorses David Trott while Trott runs against health insurance reforms pioneered by Romney

When the choice is between an incumbent tea partier whose own brother calls “mentally unbalanced” with “serious mental issues” and a corporatist foreclosure specialist, the choice was easy for Mitt Romney. He went for the corporatist leech on the jugular vein of society and predatory vulture banker, David Trott: “As someone who grew up in Michigan and has family currently […]

Democrats school GOP Congressional candidate David Trott on the Republican budget

Dodgy or dumb? When Republican candidates won’t talk about the issues, it’s tough to tell the difference. What is it with Republican candidates refusing to talk about their positions on the issues? Maybe they’re afraid voters won’t like what they have to say. Or maybe they don’t know the answers. In the case of David Trott, who is running for […]

POPCORN TIME: Bentivolio campaign compares David Trott to a “pornographer”

What’s say you and him fight? Kerry Bentivolio’s campaign to keep the U.S. House seat he accidentally won in 2014 is looking bleaker and bleaker. His opponent, foreclosure vulturist and corporatist poster child David Trott has over a $1 million in the bank, most of which is from his own personal bank account. Throwing people out of their homes is […]

GOP Congressional candidate Dave Trott won’t easily shake his foreclosure record

GOP Congressional candidate Dave Trott won’t easily shake his foreclosure record

Even Republicans aren’t happy about Trott’s predatory practices. That won’t do him any favors in his bid for the seat held by Kerry Bentivolio, who’s on shaky ground himself. David Trott’s reputation as a foreclosure vulture precedes him. And it’s going to be a huge albatross hanging around his neck in his campaign in Michigan’s 11th Congressional District. He’s been […]

When you throw a 101-year old woman into the streets, expect ads like this

Cold-hearted is as cold-hearted does One of the things at the top of the GOP’s “to do” list is “Dump Kerry Bentivolio”. Bentivolio is the Congressman from Michigan’s 11th Congressional District and has some of the most *ahem* interesting views about the role of government you’re likely to encounter. The GOP needs him gone. Enter David Trott, wealthy foreclosure specialist. […]
