Newsweek Discovers Foreclosures Under Trump, Ignores Decades of Corporate Greed
The article points to a rise in foreclosures; a true tragedy for any family. But to pin this solely on 'Donald Trump' in 2018 (as per the Newsweek headline) conveniently glosses over the systemic rot that started long before his presidency. We're talking predatory lending practices, deregulation, and the 2008 housing collapse—not some Trump-specific phenomenon. The policies that allowed
corporations to profit from housing insecurity were bipartisan, and the suffering they caused predates any single administration. It's almost as if some outlets only notice the water level rising once a particular captain is at the helm, ignoring the slowly sinking ship. Instead of addressing the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington that lets these financial crises flourish, or
querying why the 'too big to fail' banks keep getting bigger, we get a hand-wringing piece about foreclosures under *this* guy. The real story isn't who's president when the bill comes due, but who wrote the bill in the first place and why the same loopholes keep benefiting the powerful. One might wonder if the concern is truly for struggling homeowners or just a convenient political cudgel.
