flag Trump claims his proposed Fed chair would cut mortgage rates, but rates remain stable near 6.4%.

flag In a December 17, 2025, address, former President Trump claimed mortgage costs dropped by $3,000 annually under his second-term policies, attributing the decline to expected rate cuts by a new Federal Reserve chair he plans to appoint. flag He said the nominee, likely Kevin Warsh or Kevin Hassett, must strongly support lowering rates, though current Fed rates remain at 3.5%–3.75%. flag Despite Trump’s assertion that the new chair would help reduce mortgage rates, long-term yields and mortgage rates have stayed stable near 6.3%–6.4% since Labor Day. flag He also suggested presidents should have a say in monetary policy, challenging the Fed’s independence.
