Trump stokes racist fears after revoking Obama-era housing rule

A week after his administration overturned an Obama-era housing rule intended to fight racial segregation, President Donald Trump boasted about the rollback in a series of tweets and remarks, stirring racist fears in an attempt to court white conservative suburban voters months out from the election.

In a "tele-rally" with supporters Thursday evening, Trump continued to paint a dire picture of America for his supporters if his opponent is elected.

But polling shows suburban voters currently disapprove of the president's job in general -- and even more so his handling of race relations.

Trump on the call continued went on to claim suburban property values would go down if Democrats build low-income housing in their neighborhoods, referring to the Obama-era rule.
