Donald Trump had a peak bleak message for young Americans hoping to buy their first home – 17 A++ replies that hit really close to home

Donald Trump is a man of the people. The very rich people. Who already own houses.

The US President just proved beyond a doubt that he is completely out of touch with the American people.

Here is Trump’s master plan for helping with America’s housing crisis: raise prices.

The brain dead strategy inspired a lot of outraged replies online.

The new American Dream is no longer about young people becoming homeowners… it’s about older folks feeling good about paper gains. https://t.co/ESmfi4NoUp

Trump only sees the world as a rich developer.

He has never, and will never, care about creating affordable homeownership for working and middle class Americans. https://t.co/DB2BhhsBjc
