I suspect that this is @realDonaldTrump 's idea as implied by his post below. It's a really good one," his post owned twin giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are tasked with expanding credit availability in the American market by securitising mortgages. Their shares surged over 20 per cent on Friday after the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration may privatise the two institutions this President Donald Trump has previously met the top leadership of US investment banks such as Citigroup, the Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase to explore potential public offerings of the twin mortgage giants, Reuters reported, citing an the plans have not been finalised yet, and Trump continues to weigh various options, according to a senior administration official.

Ackman, founder, Pershing Capital Management, told Forbes magazine last month that the US government is the preferred stockholder of the twins, and in a position to realise gains worth $300 billion.
