# Donald Trump — "we will not lose an election for 100 years" > [!quote] "But if we terminate the filibuster as we should do and immediately vote for the Save America Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years." > — Donald Trump, remarks at Mount Rushmore, July 3, 2026 ## Context The concrete political demand buried inside the [[Trump Mount Rushmore Speech]]'s anticommunist rhetoric. Having framed the midterms as a battle against a "communist menace," [[Donald Trump]] told the crowd the way to secure permanent victory was to end the Senate [[Filibuster]] and pass what he called the "Save America Act" — the voter-eligibility bill tracked in the vault as the [[SAVE Act]]. ## Why This Matters The quote states the electoral objective plainly: not winning a fair election but engineering a system in which the opposition cannot win "for 100 years." Pairing filibuster elimination with a voter-suppression statute is the mechanism; the communism framing is the justification. It is one of the clearest on-the-record expressions of the democratic-backsliding thread the KB tracks. ## See Also - [[Trump Mount Rushmore Speech]] - [[SAVE Act]] — the "Save America Act" he names - [[Filibuster]]
