Trump Strikes New Deal

Washington, D.C. — President Donald J. Trump once again proved his leadership Tuesday night by resolving a House Republican standoff that temporarily blocked critical legislation—including key cryptocurrency regulation, Pentagon funding, and a bill to stop the creation of a government surveillance currency.

Earlier in the day, a group of conservative lawmakers halted a procedural vote, bringing the House floor to a standstill. But just hours later, Trump held a high-stakes meeting from the Oval Office, where he secured the support needed to move forward with the GENIUS Act, a bill aimed at creating a legal framework for U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins.

“I am in the Oval Office with 11 of the 12 Congressmen/women necessary to pass the GENIUS Act,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “After a short discussion, they have all agreed to vote in favor of the Rule tomorrow morning. Speaker Mike Johnson joined us via phone and supports this vote. Thank you to these great patriots. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

🔒 Protecting Financial Freedom from a Central Bank Digital Currency

The main point of contention was the absence of a provision in the GENIUS Act to block the Federal Reserve from creating a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)—a move many fear would open the door to government surveillance of personal financial transactions.

President Trump has made it clear: He opposes any form of a federal digital dollar that could be weaponized against law-abiding Americans. While a separate bill—the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act—is expected to be considered, its future in the Democrat-led Senate is uncertain.

The GENIUS Act, however, already passed the Senate and is considered the best chance to stop dangerous CBDC proposals from moving forward under the Biden-era bureaucracy.

💰 Crypto, National Security, and Strong Conservative Leadership

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) credited Trump for saving the day, saying:

“I’m thankful President Trump got involved tonight to ensure we can pass the GENIUS Act tomorrow and continue pushing pro-crypto, pro-freedom legislation forward. Much more to come.”

The agreement clears the way for the House to advance three major crypto bills and a key measure to fund the Department of Defense for Fiscal Year 2026—crucial for protecting American national security and military readiness under President Trump’s leadership.

The group of original holdouts included Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (FL), Chip Roy (TX), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), and others concerned about oversight and government overreach. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) cast a strategic “no” vote to preserve the right to a future re-vote.

⚖️ Trump Pushes for Clean Crypto Reform

President Trump—widely praised in financial circles for his forward-thinking on blockchain technology, crypto assets, and economic freedom—has urged lawmakers to pass a clean, streamlined version of the stablecoin regulation bill. He opposes attempts to tack on unrelated legislation or water down its effectiveness.

Another bill on the table, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, would split crypto regulation between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The House is expected to vote this week, but the Senate may propose a competing version.

Votes on procedural rules are typically party-line and routine—but as the GOP pushes to reclaim power from overreaching agencies and restore American sovereignty, these moments have taken on new weight.

Thanks to Trump’s decisive action, the House is once again moving—and America’s future in crypto, finance, and freedom is looking brighter.
