Donald Trump warns of “communist menace” and promises century‑long GOP election wins if filibuster is ended

Donald Trump addressed a crowd at Mount Rushmore, invoking a “communist menace” and urging Republican lawmakers to eliminate the Senate filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act, which would require in‑person proof of citizenship for voter registration. He claimed that if Republicans follow his plan, the party “will not lose an election for 100 years.”

Trump framed Democratic leaders and progressive policies as communist threats, linking the anti‑filibuster push to broader concerns about immigration and social programs. Senate Majority Leader John Thune noted that sufficient votes to abolish the filibuster are not yet present, highlighting internal GOP division over the proposal.
