Donald J.Trump demands Senate kill filibuster to pass Save America Act

The president warned Republicans they will never win another election if they fail to act, calling anyone opposed to ending the filibuster “a FOOL.”

WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump called on the Senate to terminate the legislative filibuster and immediately pass the Save America Act in a Truth Social post on June 18, 2026, at 5:00 PM CT. Here is the full post (see truthsocial.com): “Anybody who doesn’t want to Terminate the Filibuster is a FOOL, a very stupid one, at that! 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. 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. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. Donald J.Trump” Trump directed his appeal at Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the Republican caucus, warning that inaction would place them “on the wrong side of History.” He predicted that Democrats would abolish the filibuster themselves upon returning to power and use the resulting simple-majority threshold to reshape the federal government. The president outlined a series of consequences he said would follow if Democrats gained unified control without the filibuster in place. He claimed they would add two new states, seat four additional Democratic senators, expand the Supreme Court to as many as 21 justices, and amass an insurmountable advantage in the Electoral College. “The Republican Party will never win another Election,” Trump wrote, adding that he would “sadly, be the last Republican President.” The legislative filibuster is a Senate procedural rule that effectively requires 60 votes to advance most legislation, giving the minority party significant power to block bills. Eliminating it would allow the majority to pass legislation with a simple 51-vote threshold, a change that supporters say would break legislative gridlock but critics warn could lead to dramatic policy swings with each change in power (see truthsocial.com). The Save America Act, which Trump has championed repeatedly, is a sweeping legislative package tied to his domestic policy agenda. Trump framed the bill as essential to the nation’s survival, writing that “the Republican Party isn’t at stake, our Country is.” In the last 30 days, 33 of 670 Trump posts addressed the topic of government and federal reform, including 21 focused on the Save America Act and election reform, according to a Zenger analysis of his Truth Social activity.
