Trump Re-elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

A case for keeping the IRS a bit longer. Follow the money, its the key for it all. Say what you will about Bessent, I like the man and the manner in which he presents himself.
Congress is such a joke, they're all paid off and useless.
Congress is such a joke, they're all paid off and useless.
To be fair, based on both tweets alone and what Trump actually said in them, what seems to be suggested is not true IMO.
Trump in the first video says (probably before getting elected), paraphrasing, that his objective is to bring the prices of building a new home/house 30-50 percent down.
In the second video Trump says, paraphrasing, that he wants to drive housing prices up, for quote, „people that own their homes“. Which the second tweeter conveniently left out of his transcript header.
Building a house and wanting to make that 30-50 cheaper is quite another thing than owning your already existing house and wanting to make the price of such a house go up.
At least that is what I got out of those two videos alone and it seems to contradict what is claimed quite a lot.
Cheap housing benefits young couples who want to build stable families. Expansive housing benefits renters and banks.
In other words, if you own a house for a living, whether its price is up or down doesn't matter. But if you own a house to rent and sell, higher prices benefit you. On the other hand, higher prices hurt young people already struggling financially. The pre-election promise was about making houses affordable, the post-election delivery is to make houses expensive. In other words, you'll own nothing and be "happy".
