Today, President Trump announced on Truth Social that he is cancelling plans to sign major bipartisan legislation on housing affordability, threatening to veto the bill unless the anti-voter Save America Act is passed first. 
Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, issued the following statement in response: 
“Donald Trump’s full-on commitment to authoritarianism could not be more clear: He’s happy to block enactment of a bipartisan bill to address, modestly, Americans number one stated concern — high housing prices — in order to drive forward his election sabotage agenda. 
“It’s plain what Congress should do: Listen to the American people, not Donald Trump. 
Pass the housing bill over his veto, if he follows through with today’s threats. 
And reject his demand for anti-voter, anti-democracy legislation.”
