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.
He’s not the issue. He’s a glorified sock puppet, the puppet handlers aren’t going anywhere.
He’s the avatar of their interests. He doesn’t matter, and yet he’s the linchpin holding it all together
