“End the filibuster and just put everybody back to work.” Trump’s Oval Q&A gets spicy

“End the filibuster and just put everybody back to work.” Trump’s Oval Q&A gets spicy

The Oval Office turned into a policy speed-run. Trump opens with “End the filibuster and just put everybody back to work,” then barrels through an election rules package that would shrink voting to one day and limit mail ballots to the military and the very sick.

He says the border is “great, strong,” wants new immigration rules, and argues Republicans should scrap the filibuster before Democrats do. On strategy, he predicts Democrats would make Puerto Rico and D.C. states, add four senators, and lock in more electoral votes.

The detour gets geopolitical when he draws an Israel–Iran analogy and claims he was “very much in charge” when Israel attacked Iran. He closes by insisting voter ID would pass if the filibuster disappeared and says Democrats oppose it “because they cheat.” Reporters press. He doubles down. The carpet survives.

Key beats, no spin, just speed:
• Kill the filibuster, pass the wishlist
• One-day voting, mail ballots for military and the very sick
• D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood warning
• Border is “great, strong”
• Israel–Iran comparison with a self-credit line
• Voter ID framed as the fix, Democrats accused of cheating
