President Trump celebrated his just-passed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” Thursday as “a declaration of independence from a national decline” while kicking off a year of events going into America’s 250th anniversary.

Trump, 79, told a large rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds that the bill makes good on his major campaign promises to slash taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security benefits.

“With this bill, every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept,” Trump said as he prepared for a Fourth of July bill-signing Friday on the White House lawn.

“We had a national decline. We were a laughing stock all over the world. We had a man as president who shouldn’t have been there,” he said.

“We really have independence now over the — if you look at it — the overtaxation, where we were being taxed out of our lives, independence from over-regulation, we have independence now from radical-left bureaucrats and independence from the largest alien invasion.”

Trump said his landmark legislation “includes the largest tax cut in American history, the largest spending cut in American history and the largest border security investment in American history.”

The bill also includes $25 billion for his Golden Dome missile defense program, $12.5 billion to modernize the air-traffic control system and $100 billion for border security and immigration enforcement.

“Very simply, the one big beautiful bill would deliver the strongest border on earth, the strongest economy on Earth, the strongest military on Earth, and ensure the United States of America will remain the strongest country anywhere on this beautiful planet,” Trump said, adding that, “165 days into the Trump administration, America is on a winning streak like, frankly, nobody’s ever seen before in the history of the presidency.

Just so happens I voted for that.

I watched with amusement the Democrat cries of "deficit", "deficit", and "deficit". What the Democrats were forgetting is that the One Big Beautiful Bill was not the last bill. The White House is preparing a set of rescission bills to knock down the spending that could not be blocked in the OBBB.

The story is by no means over.

Thanks DC!

This is the best 4th of July I’ve seen in a long time. I still celebrated them during the Obamanation but with a sense of dread.

Ronald Reagan would say there’s no such thing as a BIG beautiful bill.

I don’t think people on the right want to admit how much debt will be added, barring a miracle.

But Trump is doing great work and if anyone can figure out a way to balance the bill, he will.

He’s saving the country in other ways already by deporting illegals and maybe a lot of money will come in from tariffs.

Thanks for posting. I voted for that, too.

I’m sure the bill has great stuff in it. That we’re about enter into a catastrophic debt cycle seems the larger problem.
