On Independence Day, Donald Trump was at the White House signing his One Big Beautiful Bill. The bill, deemed a massive tax and spending package, features permanent tax cuts and Medicaid slashes, among other provisions. Following the signing, social media users reacted to the news, sharing their opinions about the Presidents latest move, and, whew, people were not holding back! Heres what went down…
On Friday, July 4, Trump signed the bill with B-2 bombers flying overhead, as seen in this YouTube video. Joined by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, he banged a gavel, posed for photos, and took in cheers from supporters at the Fourth of July event in D.C. Trump had some words of his own amid the signing, boasting that this was the most significant bill ever signed of its kind. Additionally, he claimed the trillions in spending cuts, targeting waste, fraud, and abuse, wont put people in harms way.
We made promises, and its really promises made, promises kept, and weve kept them,” Trump said. “Theres a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy, and I have to say that the people are happy.

The One Big Beautiful Bill includes permanent 2017 tax cuts, new breaks such as no taxes on tips or overtime, and a state and local tax deduction cap increased to $40,000 for five years. The top 1% will get a $61,000 tax cut in the year 2025, per Al Jazeera, while middle earners will receive $380-$1,800.
The bigger concern, however, is how the bill, according to The Guardian, could cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, slash food assistance, and axe Biden-era clean energy credits. It also allocates $350 billion for border security and defense, according to ABC News. This allegedly includes 10,000 new ICE agents for Trumps mass deportation push. The Congressional Budget Office warns itll add $3.3-$3.4 trillion to the debt over a decade, despite Trumps rocket ship growth claims. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who set a record with an 8-hour-44-minute speech against it, dubbed it a big, ugly bill that favors billionaires over the working class.
