Trump claims victory as he signs controversial budget and tax bill into law
Briefly

Trump signed a controversial bill that extends tax cuts, reduces welfare programs, and increases immigration funding, aligning with his policy agenda. This legislation has faced opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans due to concerns about deep cuts to social safety nets and the impact on national debt. Despite falling public support, Trump celebrated the signing as a significant achievement. He insists that voters delivered a strong mandate for his policies, framing the bill as a monumental victory for democracy. Critics have condemned it as a betrayal of American citizens' interests.
Trump emphasized the significance of the bill, stating, "The American people gave us a historic mandate in November. This is a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy."
Trump described the substantial backing for his bill, claiming "I want to tell you that I've never seen people so happy in our country, because so many different groups of people are being taken care of."
