'No one gives a bleep': Trump orders GOP to derail bipartisan affordability legislation

By Matthew Chapman
Published March 12, 2026 9:21AM ET

President Donald Trump has worked behind the scenes to tank Republican support for a bipartisan bill in the Senate that would tackle housing affordability, Punchbowl News reported on Thursday.

The main issue, noted the report, is his insistence that his pet voter suppression bill, which just passed the House, be adopted in the Senate — something GOP leaders have said they don't have the votes for.

"The Senate is expected to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in a big bipartisan vote later this morning. The effort is led by Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)," said the report. "But as we scooped Wednesday night, Speaker Mike Johnson informed House GOP leaders this week that the president told him 'no one gives a [bleep] about housing' — a message intended to convey that Trump has made the SAVE America Act his top legislative priority instead. And all of this is far in the background of the Iran war, which is dominating everything in Washington."

Hey traitor since you like to run around and say the word "affordability"...............how about this you pay for the Air Force 1 Plane, Ride and all of its associated costs.............when you are going to play golf...................I truly think that taxpayers that have paid over 30 million of that BS should not be put on the hook of you defrauding the tax payers............you know what they call that being a dead beat and not paying your incurred bill..............

Yeah, no one, except for the multitude of people needing housing.
