President Trump celebrated his just-passed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” Thursday as “a declaration of independence from a national decline” while kicking off a year of events going into America’s 250th anniversary.
Trump, 79, told a large rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds that the bill makes good on his major campaign promises to slash taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security benefits.
“With this bill, every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept,” Trump said as he prepared for a Fourth of July bill-signing Friday on the White House lawn.
