## Resource

Trump’s push for lower interest rates to fuel economic growth is hitting a wall as borrowing costs soar — making mortgages, car loans, and even servicing the national debt more expensive. Despite his claims of a booming economy, Treasury yields hit 20-year highs, contradicting his promises. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, appointed by Trump, acknowledged stubborn inflation without offering solutions, while markets expect rates to stay high or rise further. With Republicans struggling to campaign on affordability amid rising debt and inflation, Trump’s own policies may be worsening the problem — and voters are feeling the pinch.
