President Trump urges GOP unity to pass clean FISA 702 extension citing national security
President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "Why is FoxNews showing SLEAZEBAG Tom Steyer, doing a big piece on him right now, and probably putting him "into play, " instead of talking about Republican Candidates, and really good ones like Steve Hilton, and Republicans? How can a Republican expect to win that State, with their Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections, when you have FoxNews promoting the Democrats?
Nobody cares about Tom Steyer, he is a LOSER, but Fox is making it possible for a guy like this to win. VOTE FOR STEVE HILTON, AND TURN CALIFORNIA AROUND!" - "I am working very hard with our Great Speaker, Mike Johnson, along with Chairman Jim Jordan and Chairman Rick Crawford, to get a clean extension of FISA 702 through the House of Representatives this week.
I am asking Republicans to UNIFY, and vote together on the test vote to bring a clean Bill to the floor. We need to stick together when this Bill comes before the House Rules Committee today to keep it CLEAN!
When the Dirty Cop, James Comey, the failed Head of the FBI went after me, he was using FISA Title I, the Domestic Collection, not FISA 702, the Foreign Collection, which needs to be extended today. While parts of FISA were illegally and unfortunately used against me in the Democrats' disgraceful Witch Hunt and Attack in the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA Hoax, and perhaps would be used against me in the future, I am willing to risk the giving up of my Rights and Privileges as a Citizen for our Great Military and Country!
Our Military Patriots desperately need FISA 702, and it is one of the reasons we have had such tremendous SUCCESS on the battlefield. I have spoken with many in our Military who say FISA is necessary in order to protect our Troops overseas, as well as our people here at home, from the threat of Foreign Terror Attacks.
It has already prevented MANY such Attacks, and it is very important that it remain in full force and effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz.
I am doing it for them, also - And the World. This situation will never happen again.
They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran. President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks.
We are working together smartly, and very well! BUT REMEMBER, we are very good at fighting, if we have to - far better than anyone else!!!" - "Will someone please tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42, 000 innocent, completely unarmed, protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. AMERICA IS BACK!!!" - "This was put out by the CATO Institute, who hates "TRUMP, " but they can't hide the facts.
The Democrats were a DISASTER on the Border, and we were the best in the History of the U. A.!"
Explanation:
President Donald Trump is signaling strong support for a clean House extension of FISA 702, emphasizing its critical role in protecting U.S. troops overseas and preventing foreign terror attacks.
His call for Republican unity highlights an intent to prioritize surveillance authority renewal as a key congressional action supporting military and intelligence operations.
Probability assessment:
There is a high probability that Trump's public endorsement will pressure House Republicans to coalesce around a clean FISA 702 extension bill.
His framing of the issue ties national security success directly to the statute, making it likely Republican leadership will advance the extension with minimal amendments despite prior partisan disputes.
Change from previous statements:
This post represents continuity with Trump's previous stance advocating for robust intelligence and military support measures.
However, it escalates his tone of urgency and political framing toward unifying Republicans on this legislation, signaling stronger public pressure than before.
