President Donald Trump on Wednesday cancelled plans to sign bipartisan housing legislation in a fit of pique over Republican senators’ refusal to blow up their chamber’s rules to pass his voter ID bill.

The president had been set to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in a rare Capitol signing ceremony at noon on Wednesday before attending a Senate Republican Steering Committee lunch.

But with less than an hour remaining until he was scheduled to leave the White House, he took to Truth Social to announce that the ceremony was “hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT.”


Wroth mentioning: the housing bill is veto-proof.

    My predictions

    1. They will be heavily favored by the Republicans for all the gerrymandering they have done.
    2. we won’t actually have midterms, due to Donny trying to cancel them for the ongoing war in Iran if not a few more by then.
    3. total disaster for the republicans, but as a result of that they will cry foul and we will have Jan 6 all over the country and capital again.

      On point one I’m fully expecting a much bigger showing for Democrats due to dummymandering. Red voters are gonna stay home for midterms
