Today, Donald Trump called the bipartisan housing affordability legislation “so unimportant” and a “big yawn.” Trump’s comments come after he refused to sign the bipartisan bill last week. Earlier this year, Trump reportedly told House Speaker Mike Johnson that “no one gives a [bleep] about housing.”
According to a recent survey, nearly 80% of Americans — including almost three-quarters of Republicans — believe there should be policies that make homes more affordable. In another poll, 79% of voters said the cost of housing is an extremely or very important issue, and nearly 90% of voters believe buying a home is harder than ever before.
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
“Donald Trump continues to mock what everyday Americans are experiencing. Time and again, Trump has had the chance to lower costs for working families, but without fail, he has chosen to prioritize his own interests and those of his wealthy friends. As Americans struggle to put a roof over their heads and afford basic necessities, Trump continues to double down on his disastrous policies and self-serving agenda — and Americans are fed up.”
