Trump calls the “very popular” domestic policy bill despite negative polls

President Donald Trump said his domestic political bill which has climbed the two chambers of Congress this week along the almost online votes is “very popular” with the Americans.

Asked about a multitude of national surveys carried out last month, which indicated that most Americans were far from being delighted with the massive spending and tax reduction bill, the president told journalists early Friday morning: “I think that is very popular. This is a lot of things, but one of them is the biggest tax reductions in the history of our country. And that alone makes it very popular.”

The president spoke by returning home from an event of July 4 at Iowa State Fairgrounds where he titled a celebration to kick off the 250th anniversary of the signature of the declaration of independence of next year.

“There could not be a better birthday gift for America than the phenomenal victory that we barely achieved a few hours ago,” Trump told the big crowd of monks, in Iowa, when he referred to the decision of the House Republicans in a vote 218-214 of hours earlier to raise the so-called “big bill of the Congress.”

Earlier in the week, vice-president JD Vance broke out equality in the Senate to adopt the measure 51-50.

What is really in the `Big Beautiful Bill ‘of Trump’

Trump noted that “no democrat voted” for the bill in one or the other Congress Chamber, adding that “they hate Trump. But I also hate them”.

The president had repeatedly insisted on the Republicans who control the congress that the bill reached its office by July 4, and Trump succeeded. He should sign the measurement in the White House at 5 p.m. HE.

The bill is filled with promises of Trump campaign trails in 2024 and priorities in the second term on tax reductions, immigration, defense, energy and debt limit.

It includes the extension of its 2017 signature tax reductions and eliminating taxes on advice and overtime.

By rendering its permanent time tax rates – they were to expire later this year – the bill will reduce taxes of nearly 4.4 dollars of dollars over the next decade, according to the analysis of the Congressional Budget Office and the Committee for a responsible federal budget.

The measure also provides billions of border services and codes the controversial repression of president’s immigration.

While the Democrats criticize the bill, they highlight the restructuring by the MEDICAID GOP – the federal program of almost 60 years which offers health coverage at around 71 million low -income Americans. In addition, the Senate Republicans increased Medicaid discounts on what the Chamber initially adopted at the end of May.

Changes to MedicaidAs well as cuts to food cuts, another of the country’s main safety net programs, were partly written as compensation to pay to extend Trump’s tax reductions. The measurement includes a multitude of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those who require Medicaid coverage.

Ken Martin, president of the National Commnitte Democrat, called the measure “one of the worst bills in the history of our nation”.

“Today, Donald Trump and the Republican Party have sent a message to America: if you are not a billionaire, we don’t care about you,” said Martin.

Overall, the legislative package by 3.4 dollars of dollars is expected to increase the national debt by $ 4 billions over the next decade.

The bill was also underwater in other national surveys carried out last month by the Washington Post (minus 19 points), Pew Research (minus 20 points) and the Quinnipiac university (minus 26 points).

About half of the respondents interviewed in the Fox News survey said that the bill would harm his family (49%), while a quarter thought it would help (23%), and another quarter did not think it would make a difference (26%).

Sixty percent estimated that they had a good understanding of what is to the extent, officially known as One, Big and Beautiful Bill, and although these voters are more likely to promote the legislation than those who do not know it, think even more than it will do rather than helping their family (45% against 34%).

The latest surveys all indicated a large partisan division on the measure.

According to the Fox News survey, which was led from June 13 to 16, almost three -quarters of the Republicans (73%) favored the bill, while almost nine out of ten democrats (89%) and almost three -quarters of the self -employed (73%) opposed the measure.

But the Republicans highlight a survey conducted by a group of public policies aligned by the GOP which indicates solid support for the bill due to the tax reduction provisions.

A press release earlier this week of the group, One Nation, argued that “the survey shows that the public supports the republican plan to reduce taxes for families, to eliminate social security taxes, overtime and advice, and to reign over waste and abuse in the federal budget”.
