Trump claims his proposed Fed chair would cut mortgage rates, but rates remain stable near 6.4%.
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.
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%.
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.
He also suggested presidents should have a say in monetary policy, challenging the Fed’s independence.
