“I was really disappointed that, on his first day in office, President Trump took action through executive order to make it more difficult for hardworking families to own a home. With this executive order that the President signed, again, on day one, he canceled a scheduled FHA directive that would have saved American homeowners hundreds of dollars a year. Under President Obama, millions of Americans were set to receive hundreds of dollars in reduction in those fees, saving on their mortgage payments, saving on their monthly payment. Under this executive order, not only will Americans with mortgages pay more than they would have, but it will also prevent many Americans from being able to own a home. In fact, according to the National Association of Realtors, 40,000 American families who could have purchased a home will not have access to that part of the American Dream because of this executive order by President Trump. This has a real impact. Rather than obsessing about the size of crowds at inaugurations, we ought to focus on this. This is real news. ____________________”
