Trump doesn't care about the forgotten man, he has forgotten them again after using them to get elected.
At a January 2026 Cabinet meeting: “I don’t want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes.” He added that existing homeowners should be kept “wealthy” and prices protected: “We’re not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn’t work very hard can buy a home.”
November 2025 Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham, defending skilled-worker visas: When told “we have plenty of talented people here,” Trump replied, “No, you don’t. No, you don’t… you don’t have certain talents and people have to learn.”
In March 2026, Trump reportedly told House Speaker Mike Johnson: “No one gives a sh-t about housing.” (Reported by multiple outlets citing sources who heard the conversation, including Punchbowl News coverage referenced in later reporting.)
On the same housing bill: “I don’t know, I think it’s so unimportant by compared to the SAVE America Act... Big deal, it’s a yawn. To me, compared to the SAVE America Act, just about everything is a big yawn.”
Trump has failed on Save America Act AND Housing along with everything that cost more for average Americans.
