WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump amplified a call by Chip Roy to pass the SAVE America Act by mentioning the source (see truthsocial) on a Truth Social post on June 29, 2026 at 8:20 AM EST.

Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “Truth Social post containing one media attachment.”

The post included a screenshot of a message from Chip Roy, the Republican U.S. Representative from Texas, on X. Roy wrote that the SAVE America Act is not about public opinion and that more than 84 percent of Americans agree that elections should be restricted to citizens. He urged the Senate to act before it is “too late.”

The SAVE America Act, formally known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The legislation has drawn strong support from House Republicans and faces an uncertain path in the Senate, where bipartisan agreement remains elusive.

Trump’s decision to share Roy’s message signals his continued backing of the bill and adds pressure on Senate leaders to bring it to a vote. Trump frequently uses Truth Social as his primary outlet for public statements and policy endorsements (see Google). The platform is operated by Trump Media & Technology Group, a company majority-owned by the Donald J.Trump Revocable Trust and headquartered in Sarasota, Florida (see tmtgcorp.com).

Trump Media & Technology Group trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker DJT. The company reported $3.6 million in revenue for 2024 and has posted large net operating losses in recent quarters, including $400.9 million for the full year 2024 (see Google).

In the last 30 days, 223 of 620 Trump posts on Truth Social fell into the uncategorized topic category, reflecting the high volume of media-only posts the president shares on the platform.
