Donald Trump signed his mega ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ into law on Friday, during a Fourth of July picnic, a day after Congress narrowly passed his primary tax and spending bill.
He signed the bill on the White House South Lawn, turning the traditional July 4 picnic into a celebration of both America’s independence and his personal victory in Congress.
He had pushed hard to rally the support, and nearly all Republicans in Congress backed his legislation as the Bill was passed in the House on Thursday.
He seized the opportunity to highlight the biggest legislative success of his second term. The event included a bomber jet flyover, which marked a reference to the US military’s recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites during the 12-day Israel-Iran war. A fireworks show on the National Mall was also planned later in the day.
Addressing the gathering from the balcony of the South Lawn alongside First Lady Melania Trump, the President said, “We made promises, and it’s really promises made, promises kept, and we’ve kept them. There’s a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy, and I have to say that the people are happy.”
This is exactly how Trump had envisioned the bill to be passed and signed into law when he set the July 4 deadline a few weeks ago — something which was seen, even by some of his supporters, as too ambitious. However, Trump kept tight control over his party and worked to convince Republicans to support the legislation, which finally culminated in the bill passing the House hurdle on Thursday. Only two Republicans voted against it.
