Trump's affordability push faces uphill climb.

TL;DR Summary
Trump laid out a housing- and debt-focused package to lower everyday costs—capping credit-card interest at 10% for a year, stopping large investors from buying single-family homes, and pushing mortgage-rate relief via $200 billion in bond purchases by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—along with potential $2,000 tariff refunds and health-care subsidies. Experts say much would require Congressional approval, some ideas clash with GOP priorities, and the reforms may amount to symbolic relief rather than a broad affordability fix.
