Trump Signs Budget Bill at July Fourth White House Picnic
President Donald Trump signed a multitrillion-dollar budget bill at the White House driveway during the Fourth of July picnic. The ceremony featured flyovers and a gavel gift from House Speaker Mike Johnson. Senate tie-breaker by Sen. Tom Tillis and support from many Republicans framed the plan as a key domestic win, despite criticism of tax cuts and cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. The bill extends 2017 tax cuts, increases immigration enforcement, and faces projected deficit growth of about 3.3 trillion over ten years, with many Americans losing health coverage under the law. Critics call it a wealth-friendly measure that shifts costs away from the wealthy onto the working class.
