Trump "posed for photos & handed out signed swag" to convince Republicans to vote for f*cking over America. USA! USA! [View all]
Trump, fresh off his "blunt-force charm offensive" to woo hardline conservatives, expressed confidence Wednesday night that his party would fall in line and vote to pass his signature budget bill.
Trump's massive, multi-trillion-dollar tax and spending package, dubbed the "Big, Beautiful Bill," extends and expands Trump's tax cuts. Critics have said it will mainly enrich corporations and the super wealthy, thrust millions off Medicaid and food assistance, and increase the federal deficit by at least $3.3 trillion over the next decade.
The president has pulled out all the stops to get deficit hawks to fall in line, including posing for photos, handing out signed swag, and charming holdouts in his party.
Even so, the fate of the bill wasn't immediately clear late Wednesday to many, except the president himself.
"It looks like the House is ready to vote tonight. We had GREAT conversations all day, and the Republican House Majority is UNITED, for the Good of our Country, delivering the Biggest Tax Cuts in History and MASSIVE Growth. Let’s go Republicans, and everyone else - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform just before 9:15 p.m. Eastern Time.
