Trump Seeks to Maintain High Home Prices Despite Affordability Concerns, White House Insists

President Donald Trump wants to maintain high home prices, contrary to calls for increased construction, as he believes lower housing costs would reduce demand for his economic policies and diminish the 'middle class's ticket' to homeownership. Despite concerns that stagnant housing supply will continue to push prices upwards, Trump is resistant to taking action. His stance prioritizes his economic agenda over addressing affordability issues.
