Trump: We Want To Pass BBB By July 4 Deadline “If Possible”
President Trump made the argument for passing his “Big, Beautiful Bill” before his self-imposed July 4 deadline at a press conference Friday afternoon:
REPORTER: How important is the July 4th deadline to you–? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It’s important-it’s not the end-all. We can go longer, but we’d like to get it done by that time, if possible. And look, we have a lot of very committed people, and they feel very strongly about a subject-subjects that you’re not even thinking about-that are important to Republicans. The problem we have is that it’s a great bill. It’s a popular bill. But we’ll get no Democrats, only because they don’t want to vote for Trump. If that bill was their bill-oh, they would be so happy. It’s so great for our military. It’s great for everything. And they would normally vote, but because of the hatred of Trump-they have Trump Derangement Syndrome at levels never seen before-and instead of voting for a tax cut, they’re voting for a tax increase of 68%. They’re voting to destroy Social Security, destroy Medicare, and destroy Medicaid. And we’re voting to make them perfect and to make them better-make them stronger and better. They’re going to destroy Medicaid, and they’re going to destroy Medicare. And Social Security will follow. If you vote for the Democrats, you’re dead on those three things.
