Donald Trump celebrated the passage of his tax and expenditure legislation in Des Moines, Iowa, labeling it a perfect birthday gift for America ahead of July 4. The event, marking the beginning of a year-long celebration for America's 250th anniversary, quickly transformed into a rally. Trump mocked Joe Biden, repeated claims of a stolen election, and criticized the media. He proposed allowing migrant laborers to stay in the US under certain conditions. The legislation extends tax cuts, increases Pentagon funding, and adds $3.3trn to the deficit over a decade, per the Congressional Budget Office.
The sweeping legislation permanently extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts, adds hundreds of billions of dollars in funding for the Pentagon and border security, slashes health insurance and food stamps and phases out clean energy tax credits.
Trump's rhetoric proved as divisive as ever as he basked in the glow of his One Big Beautiful Bill narrowly passing in the House of Representatives on Thursday.
He is willing to let migrant labourers stay in the US if the farmers they work for will vouch for them.
The legislation will add nearly $3.3trn to the deficit over a decade, according to the nonpartisan congressional Budget Office.
