President Donald Trump signed the sweeping package of tax and expenditure cuts on Friday, what he called himself ‘Big, beautiful bill’at a ceremony for July 4, full of patriotic majesty and symbolism.
The ceremony and the B-2
The ceremony at the White House, which took place in parallel with a military “picnic”, included a flight of the Armed Forces and was attended by Republican legislators, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Mike Johnson and the leader of the majority Steve Scalisboth from Louisiana, who helped to adopt the bill in Parliament on Thursday.
“Our country had so much to celebrate this day of independence as we enter its 249th year. America wins, wins, wins like never before »said Trump before signing the bill.
“We officially made the tax cuts permanent. This is the biggest tax reduction in the history of our country »continued. “We record all kinds of financial record at the moment, and this before it even begins (the implementation of the bill). After this begins, our country will be a rocket economically. “
Claiming that the “golden age of America” is beginning, President Trump has spoken of his most important achievement since the beginning of his second term in the White House. ‘I have never seen people so happy in our country because of this (of the bill), Because it ensures so many different social groups: military, citizens of all classes, jobs of all kinds’he said, thanking the Republican leaders in Congress – Mike JohnsonSpeaker of the House of Representatives and the John Thun, Majority leader in the Senate – for the approval of the bill in the two legislative bodies.
“So here’s the biggest tax cut, the largest cost cut, the biggest investment in border security in American history”the US president stressed.
As a band was playing the National Anthem, a B-2 Spirit bomber, accompanied by two F-35 aircraft, flew over the White House in honor of the American raid on the nuclear facilities in Iran last month. The pilots involved in these attacks, in Midnight Hammer, were invited to the event by the President.
The “big, beautiful bill”
The Senate approved the bill on Tuesday with 51 votes in favor and 50 against, with the Vice President Jay Di Vance need to “solve” the tie. This led the bill to the House of Representatives, which approved it with 218 votes in favor and 214 on Thursday, just a day before Trump’s “arbitrary” deadline for July 4.
The signature of the bill completed an exhaustive, long -term process during which the House of Representatives and the Senate publicly disagreed over whether the Republican Party had to try to pass Trump’s domestic policy priorities in a bill. Moderate and conservative Republicans have also disagreed about how much the federal programs of the Security Network – Medicaid and Food Assistance (the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program, or Snap) – and how much will increase the savings and the Salt or Salt) and
The sweeping budget bill fulfills many of Trump’s pre -election commitments: Increasing military spending, funding the campaign of mass expulsions of irregular immigrants and extension of tax exemptions adopted during the previous term of Republican.
In order to compensate for debt swelling, there is a drastic reduction in the Federal Food Assistance Program and significant cuts in Medicaid, the Health Insurance Program for Low Income Americans.
And despite conservative calls to tackle growing debt and deficit, the Trump law is projected to increase national debt by $ 3.3 trillion in the next decade, according to Congress’s non -party budget. The Congress Budget Office also estimated that 11.8 million people could lose health insurance coverage due to Medicaid cuts and other provisions of the legislation.
‘Antiochla’
A series of recent polls show that Trump’s big bill is deeply unpopular. A recent poll by Quinnipiac University found that 53% of registered voters opposed the bill, while only 27% support it. And the Democrats, willing to regain control of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate in 2026, are looking forward to the opportunity to have the opportunity to make the Trump bill central issue of their election campaign in the intermediate elections.
“Not a single thing in the” big, bad Donald Trump bill “will really make life more accessible to ordinary Americans, and that is just one of the many reasons why Democrats in the House of Representatives are opposed to it.”said on Thursday the leader of the minority of the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffriin a speech that broke a record and lasted almost nine hours.
“We were in hell last week, hell this week, in hell yesterday, in hell today.”he said under the intense Democrats’ cheers. “And we will continue to be in hell in this effort to hurt the American people.”
The ‘party’ and the brilliant guests
Just a day after Congress voted the bill, Republicans have already begun to discuss some changes in it. While praising tax cuts and spending cuts in the package, the Vance opened ‘the door’ on Friday, to change some of the policies included in it.
Trump “He makes a reform, he sees how he evolves and is always willing to have a conversation to improve things.”The vice president told reporters in North Dakota, who played a key role in the negotiations of the House and Senate this week.
At the White House ceremony, Republicans competed with each other to find themselves with Trump to be photographed during the signing of the bill.
Outside the President of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson and the leader of the majority Steve Scalis, Among the senators who were present was the majority of the Senate, John Barassofrom Wyoming, the Chairman of the Financial Committee, Mike stateby Eidaho, and the president of the budget, Lindsay Grahamfrom South Carolina. The majority MP was attended by the House of Representatives, Tom Emerfrom Minnesota, the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Jason Smithfrom Missouri, and the president of the budget, Judy Arington, from Texas.
Johnson made a gift to Trump at the signature: “This is the hammer used to introduce the big, beautiful bill”, he said.
The best birthday gift for America
Donald Trump greeted the adoption of his emblematic “Great, Beautiful Bill” with excitement on Thursday, stating that “There could be no better birthday gift for America”a few hours before the celebration of the Day of Independence on July 4.
Speaking at an event in De Moyne, Iowa, which marked the launch of celebrations for the 250 years since US founding In 2026, the US president transformed the event into a pre -election rally, reiterating the well -known allegations of “fraud” in the 2020 elections, attacking the media and embarking on Joe Biden.
At the same time, in an unexpected turn, Trump argued that he was willing to allow immigrant workers to stay in the US if the farmers who concern them guarantee them. “If a farmer is willing to guarantee them, then we should probably accept it.”he said.
Just after half an hour of talk, he referred to the celebrations of 2026, announcing, among other things, a “large American state exhibition”, a UFC race in the White House with 25,000 spectators, and the TV series “Patriot Games” for students.
