Trump's 'Deep Throated' SAVE Act post on Truth Social sparks controversy

Published Jul 27, 03:20 PM UTC

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social urging Senate Majority Leader John Thune to pass a 'full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT,' an apparent malapropism of 'full-throated' that drew criticism for unintentional sexual innuendo. The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and specific photo ID for voting, which critics say would disenfranchise married women, Native Americans, and name-changers, while restricting mail-in voting. Thune has stated he lacks the votes to pass the bill and is instead pursuing a third budget reconciliation bill with $10 billion for election reforms, but Republicans remain divided. The article also covers a separate CPSC effort to collect hospital medical records, raising privacy concerns.
