As Iran War escalates, Trump and allies focus on pushing SAVE America Act While bombs fall on U.S. bases, Trump is posting about the SAVE America Act.

NEW: As Iranian strikes brought the U.S. troop death toll to six, Trump took to social media to address the escalating war in the Middle East and to push for the passage of a sweeping voter suppression bill in the Senate:

"I am asking all Republicans to fight for the SAVE AMERICA ACT!"
