It's no surprise that Donald Trump has announced that he will block a popular and bipartisan housing bill unless Congress makes it illegal for Black and Brown people to vote.
OK, "Illegal," is a bit of hyperbole. He just wants to make it as difficult as is humanly possible.
What does the "Save America" Act have to do with housing? Nothing at all.
Despite rare and overwhelming bipartisan support, a US bill aimed at lowering the cost of housing for Americans is being held hostage by Donald Trump.
The president said he won’t sign the 21st Century Road to Housing Act until the Senate meets his demand to pass the Save America Act, which would dramatically change voting regulations by requiring proof of citizenship at voter registration and significantly curtail mail-in voting.
The housing bill, which was passed with large majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives after months of negotiations, represents one of the biggest efforts in decades to increase the supply of housing and reduce prices. On Wednesday morning, however, Trump claimed it was of “minor importance”.
Trump is trying not to spend the rest of his life in prison, so the voter suppression bill, and the ballroom, and the f%$#ing reflecting pool, are all that he cares about.
