Trump Hails Senate Passage of College Sports Bill
Trump weighed in on a Senate vote to advance the Protect College Sport Act, praising supporters of the measure and arguing it would help preserve college athletics and the schools that rely on them. He also amplified a report about Republican Rep. Mara Salazar facing backlash after criticizing him, a reminder of how he continues to use Truth Social to reward allies and spotlight intraparty conflict.
Salazar Backlash Over Immigration Remarks
CampaignTrump amplified a Washington Post report about Rep. Mara Salazar facing backlash after she publicly criticized him. The post itself was a link to the article, with no additional commentary from Trump.
By reposting coverage of Salazar’s backlash, Trump signaled that he is still willing to frame intra-GOP dissent as a political liability and to keep pressure on Republicans who break with him. Even without added commentary, the choice to elevate the story reinforces a familiar Trump strategy: using his platform to draw attention to disloyalty, discourage criticism from within the party, and keep immigration-related disputes central to his political identity.
