    Not a chance in hell Trump caps it at 10%. Even if he says he wants to, it’ll never make it through Congress.

      it’ll never make it through Congress.

      trump is just passing laws by Executive Order now and the GOP controlled Congress don’t seem to have any problem with that.

      probably not. the very tail end of the article:

      During Trump’s first term in the White House, Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) introduced legislation that would have capped credit card interest rates at 15%.

      Just nine Democrats in the House and one in the Senate co-sponsored the bill, which received zero Republican support.

        I would have assumed he just never paid any of it and eventually the courts said “Well fuck, we’d feel awful if we actually sent the repo man to the Whitehouse, let’s just let him off the hook.”

    I don’t care who ultimately gets credit for it. This would be an absolute game changer for millions of families.

      It’s a grift. A pinch on JP Morgan’s nutsack that can be fixed with a generous campaign donation.

      I highly doubt Trump will actually follow though on this. Too many black people and brown people would benefit from this.
