What led to Donald Trump's abrupt cancellation of the press conference?
Donald Trump just abruptly canceled a press conference that was going to be held in Congress in order to promote an actual bipartisan piece of legislation referred to as the Road to Housing Act. Donald Trump posted the following message moments ago. Today's housing news conference and signing is hereby canceled until such time as we pass the desperately needed Save America Act, which I consider to be a national emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter, DJT. So Donald Trump refused to do this press conference on a bipartisan basis with Republicans and Democrats. inside of the Capitol building, where there would be the signing of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which was actually passed with massive bipartisan support.
I'll talk about what's in that. Just even when the political parties come together, Donald Trump wants to make it divisive, make it about himself, make it about voter suppression because he just wants to take away everybody's joy. Instead, what he wants to do is post about the reflecting pool. This is the hard rubber surface, no paint before the vandals pulled it apart. And then he posts more photos of what he claims to be the reflecting pool. You know, this bipartisan housing bill was co-sponsored by Elizabeth Warren in the United States Senate on the Democratic side and Tim Scott, Republican senator from South Carolina. So when you have Scott and Warren coming together and then on the House, You had MAGA Republican Congress member French Hill and Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters coming together.
This bill passed in the Senate 85 to 5. It passed in the House 358 to 32. So it's veto proof. It's got massive support and it's going to help the American people. And what does Donald Trump do? He makes posts like this. The Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren centric housing bill. You know, folks, I'll keep on reading this in a moment. It doesn't have to be this way. This isn't. me speaking as a Democrat or independent or speaking about Republicans or politics. It doesn't have to be this mean spirited and evil and divisive and hate filled. We can actually exist together as a country and do things like housing legislation that benefits the people and do it with grace and do it with dignity and not with the drama.
I'm canceling it i'm canceling it i'm gonna call elizabeth warren pocahontas and i'm gonna be a racist asshole come on man come on this is what donald trump posted the elizabeth pocahontas warren centric housing bill which is of minor importance compared to lower interest rates and even pfizer pales in comparison to the passing of the save america act that's his voter suppression act which would also make women have to go back, find their birth certificates, present that when they vote if they have a different last name as their maiden name. That is what Americans, both Democrats, Republicans, and everyone else care about. Get the bad Republicans to approve it, or better yet, terminate the filibuster, everything else Republicans have ever dreamed of.
The Democrats will do it in one hour, 100%. Republicans will feel very stupid if they don't do it first. I'll be watching with tears in my eyes, DJT. Then he goes, my real poll numbers are the highest they've ever been. Thank you, DJT. In terms of what the 21st Century Road to Housing Act does and why it was supported on a bipartisan basis, it merges elements from the Senate's Road to Housing Act and the House. It increases housing supply, reduce cost regulation, modernizes programs, support affordability, addressing institutional investors. So like, let's just talk about some of the things that it does. boosting supply and cutting red tape, grants and incentives for local governments, tribes to reform zoning, adopt pre-approved designs, limits on large institutional investors, and this is a big one, restricting large investors, generally those owning 350 plus single family homes, from buying more single family homes, aiming to prioritize families over private equity corporate landlords, buying up the housing supply.
