Dave Ramsey In Critical Condition After Learning Of 50-Year Mortgage

FRANKLIN, TN — Financial consultant and radio host Dave Ramsey was reported to be in critical condition Monday after learning that President Donald Trump had begun pushing a 50-year home mortgage.

According to sources, Ramsey collapsed at his desk after reading a Truth Social post from Trump in which he pushed the concept of a 50-year home mortgage to combat the growing housing crisis.

“It was a sudden shock he wasn’t able to handle,” one person close to Ramsey’s family said. “Just the word ‘mortgage’ is usually enough to cause adverse effects on Dave. The president pushing for a 50-year mortgage, however, was just more than he could bear.”

Ramsey was rushed to the hospital after suffering what was suspected to have been a major cardiac event from seeing such terrible economic policy. After regaining consciousness, he condemned the president for not following his envelope method.

“You can’t spend money you don’t have, even if it’s stretched out over 50 years. Sure, you’ll be able to afford the monthly payment, but you’ll never be out of debt. Ever!” Ramsey said from his hospital bed. Nurses later gave him a sedative and asked reporters to leave him alone.

Ramsey’s wife asked for prayers for her husband and for Trump, that the Lord work on his heart and change his economic policy. “I love the president, but he’s clearly trying to kill my husband,” Sharon Ramsey said. “I told Dave to stay off Truth Social, but he didn’t listen.”

At publishing time, Dave Ramsey had been discharged from the hospital and was able to pay his bill in full with an envelope full of cash.
