Trump is now spotlighting some of the people standing behind him, including a DoorDash driver who is trying to support her son. Trump says this is an example of someone who would benefit from his proposal to stop taxing tips. Trump’s legislation has been criticized as overwhelmingly benefiting the rich and cutting the social safety net for working class and poor Americans. The White House appears intent on using this event to counter that narrative.
“This is the ultimate codification of our agenda,” Trump says before pivoting, turning to the past and mocking his predecessor, former President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Trump then talks about his success driving down border crossings. Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, is seated in the front row and smiling as Trump talks about how people have advised him to not talk as much about the border now that it is “fixed.” The legislation making its way through Congress includes funding Trump needs for his deportation campaign.
Trump is rallying for his “big, beautiful bill,” after the Senate parliamentarian rejected some key aspects from the legislation. This event so far has the celebratory vibe of a bill signing — even though the legislation has not yet passed and aspects of it are still being debated by the president’s party.
