“Mortgage Rates are NOW 5.7%! Mortgage costs were HUGE under Biden (around 8%). Thats why almost no young families could afford a home. With my focus on Housing Affordability, and after I authorized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to invest their cash, and BUY $200 Billion Dollars in Mortgage Bonds, Mortgage Rates moved down to 5.7%. This is GREAT news for American Families, and real cost relief. We are bringing Housing Costs DOWN, and putting Americans FIRST!” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The post claims current mortgage rates are 5.7%, previously were “around 8%” under Biden, almost no young families could afford homes, and a directive to buy $200B in mortgage bonds brought rates down and improved affordability. Factually, while mortgage rates have dropped to 5.99% recently—near, but not yet at, 5.7%—the history of nearly

“Our Country would be Venezuela on steroids if it werent for President Donald J. Trump!The strongest Economic Growth since 1990! — Mark Penn” @realDonaldTrump

Fact-Check Summary The social media post claims the U.S. would be “Venezuela on steroids” without President Trump and attributes “The strongest Economic Growth since 1990” to Mark Penn.

“Art Laffer and Stephen Moore have written an incredible Book, The Trump Economic Miracle: And the Plan to Unleash Prosperity Again. In just under one year, thanks to our use of Tariffs, our Nations National and Economic Security is stronger than ever before. Trillions of Dollars of Investment (and Jobs!) are pouring into our Country, our Trade Deficit is reaching Record Lows, our Nations GDP is skyrocketing past 5%, and were just getting started.
