President Trump wanted all Republicans to understand the lay the of the land.
Trump knew they wouldn’t like what he had to say.
And Trump dropped some really bad news about his future that will stop you cold.
The SAVE Act Stalls in the Senate
Senate RINOs, led by Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), are allowing Democrats to filibuster the SAVE Act.
In response, Trump demanded that the Senate attach the SAVE Act to a reconciliation bill to fund $350 billion in new defense spending, which would allow the GOP to pass the SAVE Act by majority vote.
“I am hereby calling on Republicans in Congress to IMMEDIATELY advance and pass the forthcoming $350 Billion Reconciliation Bill (Recon 3.0) — which, at the request of our Great Department of War — will include THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as well. No games, no delays, and no weak compromises! Do this ASAP.” Trump posted on social media.
Senate Republicans hemmed and hawed on this request as well.
That pushed Trump to his breaking point.
In a follow-up post on Truth Social, Trump warned Republicans that if they didn’t nuke the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act, the Democrats were just going to do so at the first opportunity and transform America into a socialist, totalitarian state.
“The Dumocrats will end it within minutes of taking office, and then rapidly proceed to destroy our Country, adding 2 Radical Left States, 4 Dumocrat Senators, many Congressmen/women, their dream of 21 Supreme Court Justices (Not just 13, an unlucky number!), an impossible to beat number of Electoral College Votes (and that’s the Ballgame!), “Popular” Vote Landslides, and so much else,” Trump wrote.
What is at Stake
The SAVE Act clamps down on Democrat election fraud schemes by banning mass mail-in voting, requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and mandating all 50 states implement voter ID.
Trump predicted that unless the Senate passed the SAVE Act, Republicans would never win another election due to the left’s cheating.
“The Republican Party will never win another Election. I will, sadly, be the last Republican President. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the Republican Senate must not let this “carnage” happen. They will go down on the wrong side of History, as will all Republicans who just stood by and watched. The Republican Party isn’t at stake; our Country is. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, AND IMMEDIATELY APPROVE THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” Trump concluded.
Thune also dismissed Trump’s call to terminate the filibuster.
“The votes currently aren’t there,” Thune told reporters.
Trump and his supporters point out that it’s Thune’s job as majority leader to round up the votes to eliminate the filibuster and pass the SAVE Act.
The SAVE Act is an 80/20 issue, where 80 percent of Americans support voter ID.
Trump’s political team is worried that if Senate Republicans can’t pass a wildly popular Trump agenda item like the SAVE Act that it will depress GOP turnout in the midterm election.
A question many Trump supporters are asking is why Thune and Senate Republicans are torpedoing the centerpiece of Trump’s election integrity agenda.
And the answer many arrive at is the realization that Thune and other Senate Republicans secretly hate Trump and want to see him gone.
The SAVE Act isn’t the only act of defiance by the Senate against Trump.
Republican senators also tanked Trump’s compensation fund for the victims of Joe Biden’s weaponized government and colluded with Democrats to try to block Trump’s nomination of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence.
