July 4 | Trump will celebrate like a king

(New York) After having demonstrated his undeniable ascendant on the Republicans of Congress, Donald Trump will be able to celebrate in large on July 4, national holiday of his country. During a ceremony at the White House, he will sign the vast budgetary bill which will represent the flagship realization of his second mandate internally. This success, which will be added to others recently won on the international scene or before the Supreme Court, will give Donald Trump the gaits of a king on this day when the Americans will remember to have freed themselves from another, 249 years ago.

Following the Senate, the House of Representatives in turn approved Thursday, by 218 votes to 214, this 940 -page text grouping the main priorities of the 47^e president. The vote occurred after negotiations which took place during the night from Wednesday to Thursday and which ended in the surrender of a dozen recalcitrant republicans under the pressure of the tenant of the White House.

The measure will permanently renew the massive tax cuts promulgated by Donald Trump in 2017, tax gifts totaling $ 3800 billion that will especially benefit the wealthy Americans. Other tax alternatives for the less wealthy totaling $ 700 billion will end two years after their entry into force, in particular the elimination of tips on tips.

Adopted by a single voice Tuesday in the Senate, the legislation also provides for an increase in budgets allocated to the Pentagon and the Immigration Service (ICE) responsible for the detention and expulsion of migrants in an irregular situation in the United States.

“If you are for a safe border, safer communities and a strong army, this bill is made for you,” said the president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, praising the merits of the legislative text before the final vote. “If you are for common sense tax responsibility and a reduction in the deficit, this bill is made for you. »»

In the eyes of many experts, Mike Johnson’s statement seemed to come from a universe where reality has no catch. “The scam with regard to the American people is to say that economic growth will pay these tax reductions. This is simply false, ”said Justin Wolfers, professor of economics at the University of Michigan, on MSNBC.

For the Democrats, it represented an affront to voters whose Republicans will have to report on the occasion of the mid-term elections in November 2026.

Cups major

Because a large part of the tax cuts granted by the Republicans of Congress will be funded by major cuts in Medicaid Health Insurance Programs for low -income and nutritional assistance for the poorest people, including children who count on free meals at school.

The tax credits by the Biden administration aimed at supporting the development of solar and wind energies will also be eliminated.

But cuts in social and environmental programs will not be enough. The vast budgetary bill desired by Donald Trump will create a budget deficit of at least $ 3300 billion over ten years, according to the Congress Budget Office (CBO), an independent body. The CBO also predicts that 11.8 million Americans will lose their health insurance due to legislation. This number includes many working class voters who voted for Donald Trump.

To this total, it is necessary to add approximately 5 million Americans who could lose their health coverage due to changes provided for in Obamacare, the flagship law of Barack Obama.

“People will die”

According to Democrats, this bill baptized One Big Beautiful Bill By Donald Trump will cost lives.

“I get up today to firmly oppose the disgusting abomination (of a bill) which stretches Medicaid, tears out food from the mouths of children, the elderly and veterans and rewards billionaires by granting them massive tax lues,” said Hakeem Jeffries, chief of the Democrats in the Chamber, at the start of a record speech.

“People will die. Tens of thousands. Perhaps year, after year, after year, following the republican assault against the health care of the American people. I am sad. I would never have thought of finding myself one day on the prosecution of the House of Representatives to say that it is a crime scene. And the Democrats of the Chamber do not want to be part of it. »»

Hakeem Jeffries justified his speech, the longest in the history of the Chamber – 8 hours and 45 minutes -, by invoking the need to prevent the Republicans from adopting their bill in favor of the night. Finally, he spoke of the 2026 electoral deadline, which could allow Democrats to delight the Republicans their majority in the Chamber and perhaps even in the Senate.

The extent of the deficits caused by the bill has disturbed the most conservative Republicans, elected after promising to bring budgetary rigor to Washington. The enormity of the cups on the Medicaid program – $ 1000 billion in ten years – has worried the most moderate Republicans, who fear the impact of these cuts on their voters or their chances of being re -elected.

However, with two exceptions, they ended up crashing in front of the president.

“What are the Republicans waiting for?” Asked Donald Trump on Truth Social, shortly after midnight. “What are you trying to prove?” (The movement) Maga is not happy and it costs you voices. »»

A few minutes later, the president added: “For the Republicans, it should be an easy yes. RIDICULOUS !!! »»

Donald Trump will not only have demonstrated his ascendancy over the Republicans of the Congress. He also proved that his voice has much more than that of Elon Musk, who had promised to campaign during the mid-term elections against elected officials who were going to vote for the bill or to launch a new party.
