Trump celebrates tax and defense spending with supporters on Independence Day.
During a festive July 4 picnic on the White House lawn, President Trump ceremoniously signed a landmark tax and spending bill, calling it “big” and “beautiful.” Surrounded by key Republican lawmakers, he declared it “the most popular bill ever signed in the history of the country”.
The legislation enacts sweeping tax cuts, boosts defense spending, and injects substantial funding into immigration enforcement—moves consistent with Trump’s “America First” priorities. However, Democrats condemned it as fiscally irresponsible and regressive.
Economic projections indicate the bill will add trillions to the federal deficit, sparking bipartisan concern about near-term budget risks—especially with the U.S. approaching its debt limit.
Trump’s celebratory political rally is widely seen as laying groundwork for his reelection push, underscoring a broader strategy to frame the legislation as a legacy achievement.
