President Trump officially enacted his “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” during a festive Independence Day celebration on the White House lawn Friday, punctuated by a powerful military flyover featuring B-2 bombers and fighter jets, marking the recent airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
“After that spectacular display of American power, let me just say God bless the United States military and God bless the USA,” Trump said from the Truman Balcony.
“As we enter our 249th year, America’s winning, winning, winning like never before… The Golden Age of America is upon us.”
At one point during the event, Trump asked the flight crews from Missouri who were involved in the Iran operation to identify themselves. “They don’t want to be in disguise,” he said, referencing their role in halting hostilities from Tehran through military pressure in support of Israel, just moments before signing the comprehensive legislation.
“In a few moments, we’re going to make official the greatest victory yet when I sign the ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’,” the 79-year-old president said to an audience that included lawmakers and families of service members.
“It’s really promises made, promises kept — and we’ve kept them. Here’s a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy, and I have to say that the people are happy.”
Before finalizing the bill, Trump criticized Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), using the opportunity to contrast their leadership with his own. The legislation itself includes wide-ranging tax relief, such as exemptions on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits, along with new deductions on car loan interest for American-made vehicles and an increase in allowable SALT deductions.
Trump accused Biden of leading “four horrible years of embarrassment,” citing failures on immigration policy and the chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan in 2021.
Mocking Jeffries, who delivered an extended speech opposing the bill the previous day, Trump remarked, “had a towel. He’s wiping his face. That’s not too elegant,” and derided Democratic pushback on the legislation. “Democrats opposed to the bill developed a standard line — and we can’t let them get away with it — ‘Oh, it’s dangerous. Oh, everybody’s going to die.’”
“It’s all a con job… just like the con job of ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ and all of the other things they did — the 51 intelligence agents said the laptop from hell came from Russia,” he said.
The president encouraged GOP lawmakers to speak plainly about the bill’s merits, asserting that “just say what it is, because it’s the most popular bill ever signed in the history of our country.” He defended reductions in Medicaid and SNAP, criticized by opponents, by claiming Americans “won’t even notice” because “it’s just waste, fraud and abuse.”
“We have the greatest country in the world and we’re back — we’re back like nobody thought possible this quickly,” the president said.
“I can say very proudly, and I don’t have to quote the polls, that our country is more proud right now than it’s been in many, many years,” Trump added. “We have pride. We have dignity. We have something that has happened miraculously, so fast.”
