Trump declares national emergency and throws wrench into housing deal

President Donald Trump is not playing around with the SAVE America Act, and he’s going out of his way to prove a point.

In a post published to Truth Social on Wednesday, the president revealed that he was canceling the signing of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. The last-minute move was made as a result of the SAVE America Act not having been passed yet, which has been an issue that Trump is desperate to tackle.

Look:

“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he wrote.

A previous post from the president had dubbed the legislation the “Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren centric housing bill” that “pales in comparison” to the importance of passing the SAVE America Act.

Look:

“The Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren centric housing bill, which is of minor importance compared to lower interest rates, and even FISA, pales in comparison to passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. That is what Americans, both Dumocrats, Republicans, and everyone else, care about. Get the bad Republicans to approve it, or, better yet, Terminate the Filibuster and approve it, AND EVERYTHING ELSE REPUBLICANS HAVE EVER DREAMED OF. The Dumocrats will do it in hour one, 100%. Republicans will feel very stupid if they don’t do it first. I’ll be watching with tears in my eyes!!!” he wrote.

House Speaker Mike Johnson gave a press conference following the cancellation, making it clear that he is fully siding with Trump on getting the voter ID legislation passed.

“I spoke to the president for 20 minutes before I went in and gave that rousing speech to the House Republicans this morning. He and I’ve talked about this a lot. He has expressed his priority and preference for the Save America Act. We share that. We passed it three times in the House. The latest version was passed a few months ago, and it has proof of citizenship to register to vote and proof of showing a photo ID when you show up to vote,” he said. “Basic issues that 90% of Americans agree: 70% of Democrats think you ought to have a photo ID to vote and citizenship to vote in an American election is already in the law. But we have to enforce it because you’ve got a few blue states that don’t do that.”
