Speaking in a powerful press conference about the SAVE America Act and about the RINOs who are refusing to push it forward, President Trump noted how sane and reasonable the bill is, along with how ridiculous it is that there are Republicans who are refusing to step up and push it through the Senate ahead of the midterms this fall.
As background, while the bill has passed in the House, it has stalled out in the Senate, where RINOs have been obstreperous and refused to even force a speaking filibuster, much less get the actual bill passed and implemented. Most Republican voters find that absolutely absurd, as the bill is hugely popular, particularly the photo ID and proof of citizenship portions of it.
So, President Trump hammered with a vengeance those who are blocking it. He began by noting that one of the five main priorities in the SAVE America Act is a voter id requirement, saying, “See that in the SAVE AMERICA Act as one of our five. That’s voter ID. We want voter ID.” He added that another is “We want proof of citizenship.”
Continuing, he noted that two other provisions have to do with transgender surgeries and transgender individuals participating in women’s sports, saying, “We want no transgender utilization of your children. We don’t want transgender beauty. That’s number three. We want no men in women’s sports. That’s number four.”
Concluding that point, he noted that the fifth thing is getting rid of unmitigated mail-in voting, saying, “And we don’t want to have mail in voting.” He then continued by explaining that all of the issues are hugely popular, explaining, “Where the votes go? Where the hell do they come from? So we’re going to we do that. It’s five things. They’re all 99%.”
Adding to that by explaining why he thinks Democrats are so against it, the president said, “They say, oh, that’s an 80% issue, like voter ID. No, I think it’s a 99 I think the Democrats have it at 87% the leadership doesn’t want it. Why don’t you want voter ID? There’s only one reason, ready because you want to cheat. Okay?”
Continuing on the same point regarding Democrat and RINO intransigence and what ill motives are behind it, the president explained, “They blame it on all sorts of things. They came up. They said it’s racist. They came up with things that you have to say. Their imagination is great.”

Further, he alleged, “No, we’re not going to let them cheat like they did in a certain election that we won’t talk about, but that election was and they cheat. Now, look, we’re not going to let it happen. So we’re going to go get the SAVE AMERICA Act, not the SAVE Act. Nobody knew what the SAVE Act meant. The SAVE Act, what SAVE, what SAVE AMERICA Act?”
He then concluded by vowing to help to primary and remove those who are refusing to pass the SAVE Act, saying, “And it’s we’re going to do everything we can. It’s hard to believe. It’s hard to believe we’re having a hard time. I think anybody that votes against it shouldn’t, shouldn’t be allowed to run for office. You want to know that, but we’re working [on it].”
