Trump Lied About His 'Save America Act.' The Truth Is Even Worse.

Trump Lied About His 'Save America Act.' The Truth Is Even Worse.

During the State of the Union, Donald Trump pitched his "Save America Act" as a simple bill to secure elections. He lied. In this video, Marc Elias breaks down the text of the bill to reveal a much darker reality: a plan that doesn't just suppress votes, but fundamentally redefines voting from a right into a "privilege" controlled by the powerful.


The "Save America Act" isn't about election integrity—it’s an authoritarian wish list. From banning mail-in voting to imposing impossible "proof of citizenship" requirements, this legislation is designed to give one man King-like control over who gets to participate in American democracy.
