TRUMP DECLARES WAR On Credit Card Companies: Interest Rates CAPPED At 10% Starting Inauguration Day

President Donald J. Trump delivered a massive victory for working Americans Friday night, announcing that credit card interest rates will be capped at 10% for one year starting January 20th – his first day back in office.

"Please be informed that we will no longer let the American Public be 'ripped off' by Credit Card Companies that are charging Interest Rates of 20 to 30%," Trump declared, sending shockwaves through the financial establishment that has been gouging families for decades.

Finally, A President Who Fights For Main Street

While the Biden regime spent four years enriching their Wall Street donors and letting corporations bleed Americans dry, Trump is immediately taking action to put money back in the pockets of hardworking families. Credit card companies have been running a legalized loan shark operation, trapping millions of Americans in debt slavery with usurious rates that would make Tony Soprano blush.

Think about it – these same banks get money from the Federal Reserve at near-zero rates, then turn around and charge working families 25-30% interest on their credit cards. It's pure theft, sanctioned by a corrupt system that values corporate profits over American prosperity.

"This is exactly why we elected Trump – to take on the corrupt establishment and fight for everyday Americans who've been getting screwed for too long."

The announcement comes as no surprise to those who've been paying attention. Trump has consistently called out the rigged financial system that benefits the wealthy elite while crushing the middle class under mountains of debt and impossible interest rates.

Deep State Wall Street Won't Go Down Without A Fight

Expect the usual suspects in the mainstream media and their Wall Street masters to launch a full-scale assault on this common-sense policy. They'll claim it's "bad for the economy" – translation: bad for their profit margins built on exploiting American families.

But Trump isn't backing down. He promised to drain the swamp and put America First, and capping these predatory interest rates is exactly the kind of bold action Patriots voted for. How many families will finally be able to breathe again without 30% interest crushing their dreams?

About time someone took on these predatory lenders! Credit card companies have been getting rich off hardworking families for decades while Congress did nothing.

FINALLY! Someone who actually fights for working Americans instead of just talking about it. My Discover card went from 12% to 28% in just two years - this is exactly what we need!

Same here! Chase jacked mine up to 24% last year for no reason. This can't come soon enough.

This is huge for small business owners like myself who sometimes have to use credit for cash flow. How exactly would this be implemented though - executive order or does it need to go through Congress?

Great question - I'm wondering the same thing about the legal framework here.
