WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump amplified Rep. Chip Roy’s call for Congress to pass key America First legislation by mentioning the source (see truthsocial) on a Truth Social post on June 24, 2026 at 10:24 PM EST.

Here is the full post (see truthsocial.com): “RT: https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/116808605.9 billion Chip Roy ❤ @chiproytx President Trump is right to play hardball with the Senate. He’s sending a clear message to Congress: start delivering. Pass the SAVE America Act, codify HR 2 border policies, ban congressional stock trading, and get the America First agenda across the finish line.”

Trump reposted a screenshot of a message from Chip Roy, a Republican U.S. representative from Texas, who praised Trump’s pressure campaign against the Senate. Roy urged Congress to act on four priorities: the SAVE America Act, codification of HR 2 border policies, a ban on congressional stock trading and the broader America First agenda (see truthsocial.com).

The repost signals Trump’s endorsement of Roy’s framing that the Senate must deliver on legislation central to his domestic platform. HR 2, formally known as the Secure the Border Act, passed the House in a previous session and targets asylum restrictions, border wall funding and immigration enforcement. The SAVE America Act addresses election integrity measures that Trump has championed (see trumpstruth.org).

Roy’s call for a ban on congressional stock trading taps into bipartisan frustration over lawmakers trading individual stocks while having access to nonpublic information. Several proposals to restrict the practice have stalled in both chambers despite broad public support.

Trump’s decision to amplify the message reflects a broader strategy of using social media to pressure Senate Republicans who have moved slowly on his legislative priorities. Roy, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, has positioned himself as an ally willing to publicly back Trump’s confrontational approach toward the upper chamber.

In the last 30 days, 40 of 642 Trump posts addressed domestic policy, underscoring the frequency with which he has pushed legislative action on his platform.
