Unanimous Outrage by Republicans to Trump’s Proposed 50-Year Mortgages

Just as efforts to cancel Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes, the pro vs anti Israel movements, Charlie Kirk assassination conspiracies, and other polite conversation starters are threatening to fracture the Republican Party beyond repair, we’ve finally found something we can all agree on. Opposition to 50 year mortgages has entered the chat.


Everyone from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Laura Loomer, Thomas Massie, Jack Posobiec, and the man know as Brick Suit are speaking out against the idea. We haven’t seen this much unity amongst Republicans since disclosing the Epstein files phased back out of style.

Whiplash from Unity to Infighting

The newfound Republican party unity could not have come at a more needed time after getting trounced by the Democrats on Election Day last week. Although, it’s worth noting that Republicans are unifying in opposition to an idea put forth by their own president.

We’ve come to expect this kind of infighting between Republicans as of late. For example, stalwart Republicans Senators Ron Paul and John Kennedy recently went head-to-head on the government shutdown. Paul proposed a bill to pay certain critical federal workers including Senators while Kennedy argued to exclude Senators from being paid during the shutdown.

Don’t get too excited about MTG and Laura Loomer agreeing on something though. If the pattern holds true, any unity will be overshadowed by the next point of disagreement approximately this time next week.

Alternative Possibilities of Infinity-D Chess

Ex-UFC fighter Ben Askren highlighted the fact that a loan today might be worth pennies on the dollar 50 years from now. Ben, another opponent of the idea, brings up a good point regarding if the US dollar is even capable of lasting another 50 years.

The only logical conclusion we can draw from President Trump knowingly upsetting this many of his most avid supporters is: he must be playing 4-D chess. Two moves ahead of everyone. Maybe, maybe not. Bitcoin expert Jack Mallers often suggests a related idea. The idea that the Trump administration’s only move from here is to inflate our way out of this affordability crisis. Of course, they can’t say it out loud. With this being the unspoken end goal, a 50 year mortgage in dollars wouldn’t matter as much as we think. The value of the dollar may become entirely re-pegged to something uninflatable that we have more of than the rest of the world, (like Bitcoin.)

The idea of making homeownership more accessible by offering 50 year loans is difficult to rationalize in normie terms. Just ask Dave Ramsey. Spoiler alert: the article is almost entirely cons. The only pro mentioned is lower monthly payments. Although, it’s worth considering what a dollar 5, 10, 20 or 50 years from now will be worth in something other than dollars.

🌐 What Is a 50-Year Mortgage?

Remember how gold hit all time highs recently? Over 4,300 dollars per ounce last month. Dollars being the key word. If you look at the price in terms of say, Bitcoin, it has actually lost much of its value.

Immigration and Final Thoughts

Facts like the price of gold in terms of Bitcoin don’t matter to everyone. Take the infamous Cat Turd for example. He’s got to be well over 50, probably owns multiple houses already, probably owns some bitcoin as well. He doesn’t exactly have a dog in this fight other than that he likes President Trump a lot.

A thorough search for supporters of this 50-year mortgage plan was nearly fruitless other than a post I found from Bitcoiner Adam Livingston. President Trump and his team working on the issue may make up the bulk of anyone who's even for it. Cernavich concisely pointed this out.

The other point of emphasis that seems baked into this and almost every issue is immigration. After all, what good are 50 year mortgages anyway if Americans are outnumbered by foreigners?

Wade Stotts made this point clear in his latest episode. Elections are all about immigration now. The New York mayoral race sure was. Affordability is also now about immigration. Almost everything will be won or lost moving forward based on how immigration policy is handled.

​It remains to be seen if Trump is doing enough to keep America from going the way of most of Europe in terms of immigration. His base is experiencing chronic immigration fatigue. Perhaps Trump was just rage baiting for clicks with the 50-year mortgages idea. Either way, the Republicans have one year to figure things out before the midterm elections.
