On this Saturday episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic’s David Frum explains how Trump-induced inflation is putting homeownership out of reach for younger Americans. He examines how tariffs, immigration policy, deficit spending, and attacks on the Federal Reserve are driving up mortgage rates, and what it would take to bring them back down.
