Vice President JD Vance is highlighting the Trump administration's ban on Wall Street buying up homes, declaring that 'American homes should go to the American people' and not to corporate investors.
In a video posted by the White House's Rapid Response account, Vance said it is 'common sense' that the ban was implemented so that homes 'ought by right go to the American citizens.'
'You know, it's common sense that American homes should go to the American people, which is why we ban Wall Street from buying up homes that ought by the right go to the American citizens,' Vance said.
Taking on Big Pharma and 'Rip-Offs'
Vance extended the common-sense framing to prescription drug pricing, saying the administration created 'Trump or X' — a reference to a plan to lower drug costs — after the President accused former CEOs of exploiting Americans.
'It's common sense that your medicine should not cost double or triple what it costs in Europe, which is why we created Trump or X and the President of the United States told former CEOs to quip, rip, and you off. And that's what they did,' Vance said.
Immigration and Border Security Record
The Vice President pointed to the administration's border policies, noting '17 straight months of zero border patrol releases' and the 'lowest year-over-year illegal border crossings in American history' under President Trump.
'It's common sense that we end the Joe Biden border invasion, which is exactly what we did,' Vance said.
Vance also touted a new requirement that commercial driver's license holders demonstrate English proficiency, arguing that drivers should be able to read highway signs.
'It's common sense, think about this, that if you're behind a gigantic semi-truck, you ought to be able to read highway signs,' he said.
The remarks came as the administration continues to press its 'America First' agenda on housing, healthcare, and border security.
