On Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted that he was "studying" the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule — a regulation that combats neighborhood segregation — calling it "devastating" and "not fair to homeowners."


Trump's new attack on fair housing sparked fury from commenters on social media — some of whom pointed out that Trump and his father were investigated by the Justice Department in the 1970s for denying apartments to Black applicants.
