Trump cancels housing bill signing, calls voter‑ID bill a 'national emergency'

newsJun 24, 2026552,605

President Donald Trump abruptly canceled a planned signing ceremony for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act on Wednesday, saying he will not sign the bipartisan housing-affordability bill until Congress passes his SAVE America Act. The House gave final passage to the housing bill on Tuesday, but Trump declared the SAVE Act a "national emergency" and urged Senate Republicans, including Rick Scott and Mike Lee at a GOP luncheon, to prioritize his voter-ID legislation first. The move threatens to stall enactment of a bipartisan housing measure Republicans hoped to run on and signals Trump is using a high-profile domestic bill as leverage to force passage of election-law changes, with immediate consequences for renters and homebuyers.

Trump set up the cameras, the podium, the flags — then canceled his own bipartisan housing bill signing because he'd rather hold the country hostage over a voter suppression bill. And that's just the beginning. Your midday update is here: www.meidasplus.com/p/wednesday-...

No, he wants to stay out of prison and rigging the vote is the only way he can. Period. End of story. All of this shit is to keep him out of prison.

It is time for politicians to stand up to Trump and take action tp prevent further damage to the US. Empty talk and posturing b4 midterms are meaningless and voters/citzens know it. Biden had competent aides at least, Trump's crew are 3 stooges+keystone cops. Trump's decline is SAD and Loserville.

Trump doesn't care if Americans are living in their car or under a bridge

It’s not even a good threat though. He is literally throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler. It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. It passed with veto proof margins & if he doesn’t do anything for 10 days it goes into law automatically. Maybe he needs his afternoon nap and can try again later.

A President who refuses to do his job for the American people, unless Congress agrees to back his racist plan to steal all future elections for Republicans, should definitely be impeached and removed from office for gross incompetence and complete failure to uphold his oath of office.

Trump is blackmailing the US.

Trump is an asshole. Congress needs to send a message to him that none of his agenda will even be discussed until the Epstein files are released, Gas prices are normal, the troops are home, and healthcare is back on the table.

Another temper tantrum. Sundowning and in need of a diaper change?

He'll do anything to be dictator for life. Threats, blackmail, bribes, withholding what Americans should have - anything. We ain't seen nothing YET. It will get worse because nobody has stopped him.

The bill has been approved and will go into effect even if he doesn’t sign it. 🍊🤡 #tantrums
