There is no upside to Trump either way. If he vetoes it and Congress overrides, that is a YUUUUGE blow to his power.

If he vetoes it and prevails, that battle will be the front of news for a week, and the story will be, "why does Trump want everybody's housing costs to be even higher?"

He should have thought about this a month ago. The guy is an idiot.
