I’m interested in hearing from the MAGA pastors about Trump’s statement tonight that he wants to refuse to release emergency funds set aside to feed the poor despite a court order because the govt needs to “remain liquid” in case he needs that money to fight a war.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!
His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.
What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.
Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.
