Supporters celebrate at the Trump Iowa rally, marking a significant tax bill passage.
During a vibrant rally in Des Moines, President Trump celebrated the passage of his significant tax and spending bill, which he called ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’ He emphasized that the bill is a birthday present for America before its 250th anniversary. The event included criticism of Democrats, new immigration policies, and exciting plans for upcoming anniversary celebrations, including a Great American State Fair and televised events. The atmosphere was lively, marked by enthusiastic supporters and a fireworks display, showcasing Trump’s ongoing popularity and the anticipation surrounding America’s milestone year.
In a high-energy rally in Des Moines, Iowa, President Donald Trump proudly celebrated the passing of his major tax and spending bill, creatively dubbed “One Big Beautiful Bill.” He hailed this legislative achievement as a “phenomenal victory” for the American people and labeled it a “birthday present for America,” given its timing just before the 4th of July.
This rally kicks off a year-long celebration leading up to America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, a milestone that Trump claims marks the beginning of an era of significant prosperity. Iowa was chosen as the launch site for these anniversary celebrations because it symbolizes a spirit of unity, as highlighted by Monica Crowley, who serves as Trump’s liaison to America250.
Looking down the road, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has projected that this new bill will contribute almost $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade. In a sign of changing perspectives, Trump announced new policies regarding migrant workers that would allow them to stay in the U.S. if farmers can vouch for them, subtly shifting away from his previous hardline stance on immigration.
During his remarks, Trump used a controversial term to describe bankers, which drew criticism as it has antisemitic implications. He later mentioned that he was unaware of the term’s connotations. Despite this, he took the opportunity to boast about his administration’s successes, highlighting military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and the decrease in prices of certain goods.
Trump acknowledged the challenges farmers face, particularly regarding labor shortages that impact crop production, reinforcing the need for migrant labor to assist in agricultural work.
Looking forward to the 250th anniversary of the U.S., Trump revealed some exciting plans, including a “Great American State Fair” and a televised event called “Patriot Games,” focused on high school athletes. He also announced plans for a UFC event set to take place at the White House, showcasing his connection to the sport and its fan base.
The rally was filled with enthusiastic supporters wearing Trump merchandise. The atmosphere was electric, especially when singer Lee Greenwood performed “God Bless the USA.” A recent Gallup poll indicated a widening partisan gap in American patriotism, with fewer Democrats expressing pride compared to their Republican counterparts, something Trump touched upon during his speech.
Trump expressed concern over the removal of various monuments and statues, arguing these actions undermine America’s historical narrative. He also promoted the idea of establishing a National Garden of America’s Heroes, a tribute to the nation’s significant figures.
As the rally drew to a close, attendees were treated to a dazzling fireworks display, celebrating not only the passage of the tax bill but also Trump’s enduring popularity among his supporters. With the countdown to America’s 250th anniversary underway, the excitement is palpable, leaving many wondering what other surprises Trump has in store for the nation.
