Rising interest rates will make the cost of borrowing more expensive, but it should help mitigate price inflation.

Housing market is the perfect example. Low interest rates mean people can borrow more to hit a monthly payment they can afford. So they'll bid up home prices. Higher interest rates tend to limit home prices because people can borrow less for the same payment.

As a real estate guy, the orange felon wants the value of his properties to go up, so he wants low interest. If that means the price of everyone's groceries also goes up, so be it. It's all about him, not the rest of us.
