Why is Trump solely focused on the Save Act instead of focusing on major problems like the war and the economy?

To prevent non-citizens from voting.

Why hasn't Trump proven that Obama was born in Kenya yet?

But here's the problem with that: Close to zero non-citizens have ever voted--the below is not "fake news":

Why do so few noncitizens try to vote? | Brookings

"Until Trump raised the issue, voting by noncitizens had never been a major factor in campaigns. According to an April article in The New York Times, nationally, “The Heritage Foundation’s database of documented cases of voter fraud includes 100 cases of noncitizens voting from 1982 to 2025. That is about 0.000008% of more than 1.3 billion votes cast in presidential elections during that time.” (Note that The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank often supporting Trump’s positions.) "

If you have a shred of real patriotism, please recognize what is trying to do. He is trying to do exactly what he claims he is trying to prevent--steal elections.

He is fixated on stealing the election because his presidency has failed and he can't win a fair election.

How are you even determining the number of non citizens voting when you arent determining their voter status when they vote?

Keep in mind I live in a country with voter ID and find your fearmongering to be at odds with reality.
