Trump Wants It All – Demands Republicans Pass Massive Defense Bill With Voter ID

President Trump is calling for immediate action on two key issues: funding our military and passing the voter ID measure known as the SAVE America Act. He is urging Senate Republicans to utilize reconciliation to bypass Democrat filibusters and approve a $350 billion bill, referred to as Recon 3.0, that would address both of these goals.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, he is demanding passage “IMMEDIATELY”:
No other President has ever been more committed to both REBUILDING our Great Military and SAVING our Great Country — And NOW is the time to make it happen, for Generations to come.

Trump Wants It All – Demands Republicans Pass Massive Defense Bill With Voter ID

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.

This is a GENERATIONAL Investment in our Military, even bigger than President Reagan’s! Recon 3.0 is the ONLY path to the full $1.5 TRILLION DOLLAR Military Budget our Warriors need in order to build THE ARSENAL OF FREEDOM.

With the major investment of new funding, Trump said we will make the already dominant American military even more so:

War Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed the president:

Collins said a third bill was a “terrible risk” and is likely to create funding “instability” for defense efforts

Trump has also expressed his frustration that the SAVE America Act is still not on his desk yet:
Also, with THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, it will protect our Elections for Generations to come. Our Warriors protect our most Sacred Rights, and Voting is at the top. Time to defend that Right for every American!

Pass ALL $350 BILLION and THE SAVE AMERICA ACT to secure the NATION for our children and grandchildren.

THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!

Naturally, Republicans could also nuke the arcane filibuster rule, knowing that Democrats will likely do so if they ever win back the Senate

ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PHOTO I.D. (IDENTIFICATION!).

ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.

NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY, OR TRAVEL!).

But, will Trump get a win for the country? Not so fast, say the usual RINO suspects:

Well, the original version of the SAVE Act did get 50 votes, Leader Thune. Collins switched her vote to support it when Sen. Mike Lee offered it up during a vote-a-rama on ICE and CBP funding.

But we know how that’s gone so far, too.

Maybe in January, when a few more RINO senators are finally put out to pasture.
