The same one who just said PE isn't allowed to buy any more residential real estate?
I hope they go after hospitals next.

We'll see. That was just an EO. That doesn't really have the force of law behind it. There's not a regulatory body (AFAIK) that would or could prevent PE from gobbling up a home.
But if there's a route to stop it then I'm not opposed to it. PE buying essential goods and industries is bad for everyone.
My impression is it was also mostly a publicity stunt.
It wasn't even an EO. It was a tweet.
The President's statements, and even unspoken thoughts, have the full force of law. This President, anyway-- I think the Supreme Court has a special criterion they use to determine whether Unitary Executive Theory should apply to a particular administration.

He says about 500 things a week and rarely followed through. They have gone after anyone yet so I wouldn't be thinking about "next"

NB: “single family homes” not “residential real estate”
I’ve been hoping to meet one of the marks for the ol’ “tweet means he did it” thing in year 5. Hello!
