President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that if the “One Big Beautiful Bill” fails to pass, Democrats will be responsible for a massive 65 percent hike in taxes. He laid the blame squarely on their shoulders during remarks from the Oval Office following a swearing-in ceremony for interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro.
“You know, if it’s up to the Democrats, they’ll take the 65 percent increase. If that doesn’t get approved, this country is going to have a 65 percent increase in taxes and lots of other problems, big problems, almost bigger than that,” Trump said, stressing that the legislation would deliver “the largest tax cut in the history of our country.”
