If "grab 'em by the pussy" didn't do it nothing will.
That’s what made them vote for him.
Most republicans voters will never see that he said this, and if they do they will only believe that it’s a liberal lie.
Trump allies control most of the media so it won't be.
"should be" being the operative qualifier.
"Why don't the poor just commission some houses and then fuck over the contractors?"
I've heard it's a great business strategy. Up next, accidentslly running a casino into the ground because you're so smart with finances.
Like 99% of the country cares very much about housing.
If Iran wipes out Trump, his cabinet, and several other high level officials, the war will be over, and we'll be paying Iran handsomely for their house cleaning
I mean…. We could wipe him out
Then pass the damn bill and make him veto it.
Didn’t he campaign on housing prices? His slimy running mate even spread a few lies about illegal immigrants buying up all the housing between couch thrusts.

Except for everyone that lives under a roof that isn't one of the thousand richest people in the world...
I mean he is sort of right on this bill, no one will really notice it or give a shit.
Republicans, along with a lot of democrats, don't actually want housing affordability because that would require home prices to go down and most of their constituents, especially those who vote, are home owners and don't want that to happen.
Their only solution is to make it easier to borrow more money so they can keep house prices inflated while allowing some new people to enter into the market with bigger and bigger debt.
Says guy originally made famous by real estate deals.
"deals" doing a lot of lifting here lol.
