Trump Signs Big, Beautiful Bill Into Law: “We’re Back Like Nobody Thought Possible This Quickly”
President Donald Trump made remarks at a White House July 4th event before signing the “Big, Beautiful Bill” into law.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: And stick around for the fireworks. And our country’s had so much to celebrate this Independence Day. As we enter our 249th year, America is winning, winning, winning like never before. We’re not, I’ll tell you, we’re in a category now that’s where we’ve wanted to be for a long time. We suffered with four horrible years of embarrassment. Afghanistan may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country. We’re never going to let a thing like that happen again. Trillions of dollars are pouring into the United States for investment purposes. Almost $ 15 trillion. There’s never been anything like it. There’s never been anything even close. The stock market’s at an all-time high. Jobs are at an all-time high. Everything’s at an all-time high. And we’re going to keep it that way. We have the greatest country in the world. And we’re back. We’re back like nobody thought possible this quickly. I thought it would take maybe a year, maybe two years, maybe even three. And we did it in less than six months. We are back and strong. We’ve restored American strength and deterrence on the world stage. We’re respected again. The world is respecting us again. When we did NATO, those leaders came up to me, and they said, you know what, we’re going to go to a new level of spending because you’re requesting it, sir. They didn’t talk to you last, President, like that, I can tell you. They didn’t spend any money. They didn’t spend anything. In a few moments, we’re going to make official the greatest victory yet when I sign the one big, beautiful bill. And before I start, I want to tell you that I’ve never seen people so happy in our country because of that. Because so many different groups of people are being taken care of, the military, civilians of all types, jobs of all types. We’re adding things like the biggest tax cut in the history of our country, child tax credits. So many things are being added that we wouldn’t even have time to discuss them.
