U.S President Donald Trump touched down in Iowa for a fiery rally just hours after Congress passed his $4.5 trillion ‘Big Beautiful Bill’.

Trump Reacts to Passage of ‘Big Beautiful Bill’—'It’s the Biggest Ever, Launch U.S into rocket ship’

U.S President Trump is claiming total victory after Congress narrowly passed his massive $4.5 trillion ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ Calling it the “biggest bill of its kind ever signed”, Trump says the legislation will blow away his first-term achievements and launch the U.S. into a new era of economic dominance. The bill includes historic tax cuts, major funding for border security, and delivers on nearly every major second-term promise — all while Trump calls out past administrations for “weak, failed leadership.” This July 4th, Trump isn’t just celebrating — he’s redefining American power. #Trump #BigBeautifulBill #Trump2025 #TaxCuts #BorderSecurity #GOPVictory #AmericaFirst #RocketShipEconomy #Congress #July4th #TrumpSpeech #SecondTerm #PoliticalVictory ~HT.318~PR.274~GR.122~
