June 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said ​on Sunday he opposes any renewal ‌of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that does not include his Save America ​Act, which would require proof ​of citizenship for voting.

The U.S. Congress ⁠on Thursday rejected a short-term extension ​of the foreign surveillance powers amid ​a standoff over Trump's selection of an inexperienced loyalist, Bill Pulte, to serve as ​the acting director of national intelligence, ​although some lawmakers also oppose an extension ‌of ⁠FISA under any circumstances.

"What kind of a deal is that," Trump posted Sunday on Truth Social.

"Besides, I’m against ​FISA if ​it ⁠doesn’t come with The Save America Act (Full version!) firmly ​attached to it."

1. Hell no.........................

F you.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

2. That dooms FISA

Is the reason he’s doing this is because he would be, or has been caught on a FISA tap?

6. Good question

Either that or it's the senility again.

3. I don't even want a FISA extension.

[Wiz Imp]

4. Good. It will never pass!

[paleotn]

5. DOA in the Senate.

They don't have the votes to get past filibuster. May not have the votes to pass even without it.

7. Fuck that noise.

8. Well thank you Trumpedo,

you've just guaranteed that neither will pass.
Good job sport.

9. FISA has been an abomination since it's inception

Good riddance to bad trash.

[0rganism]

10. 'K fine, let's drop FISA for now, we're probably better off without it anyway

It's been used in questionable ways by past administrations. I very much doubt the current administration would use it responsibly anyway. Maybe it's worth resurrecting at some later date, we can 86 FISA for now.

Let F47 neuter his own surveillance capabilities if that's what he wants to do. Don't threaten me with a good time!

11. FISA has zero to do with voting so he can go fuck himself sideways.
