Overview
- During an Oval Office Q&A tied to an order creating a website where workers can find and enroll in private retirement plans, Real America’s Voice reporter Brian Glenn praised Trump as a "wealth maker."
- Trump welcomed the praise and urged the Senate to scrap the filibuster rule that requires 60 votes so Republicans can pass the SAVE Act, a voter ID bill that would require proof of citizenship to register.
- He singled out Senate Majority Leader John Thune, saying Thune should "just go take a vote" to expose holdouts on eliminating the rule.
- Glenn, who is engaged to former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, then drew a personal aside when Trump joked, "I don’t love his girlfriend too much," prompting laughter in the room.
- The moment renewed attention on Trump’s feud with Greene and on press access optics, since a White House correspondent romantically linked to a prominent Trump critic asked the most favorable questions.
