President Donald Trump has been pressed on numerous subjects, including affordability, in a fiery interview on Fox News.

Trump, 79, was interviewed on Fox’s The Ingraham Angle on Monday, but did not get the usual easy ride. MAGA host Laura Ingraham pushed back against the president several times.

In one instance, Ingraham asked Trump about his administration trying to tackle housing costs, with the average age of first-time home buyers being 40.

Trump interjected, “We inherited that, you have to understand,” before Ingraham interrupted him, saying, “Let me get to the question, though.”

The host asked the real estate mogul, “Is that really a good idea?”

“It’s not even a big deal,” Trump said. “I mean, you go from 40 to 50 years.” Ingraham corrected it to be 30 to 50 years. The president went on to blame Joe Biden and his “lousy Fed person” Jerome Powell, noting that the Federal Reserve Chair “is going to be gone in a few months.”

“If we had a normal person, the Fed would have really low interest rates,” he added.

Ingraham then pushed back on Trump, asking, “Why are people saying they are anxious about the economy? Why are they saying that?”

The president said, “I don’t know that they are saying [that]. I think polls are fake. We have the greatest economy we ever had.”
