On July 3, President Donald Trump’s controversial “One Big Beautiful Bill” narrowly passed the House by a 218–214 vote.

While supporters welcomed big tax cuts, defense spending, and border security changes, many raised concerns about the bill’s impact on climate, immigration rights, social programs, and the national debt.

During a speech in Des Moines, Iowa, Trump made headlines with a divisive statement. He said, “They hate Trump, but I hate them too… I really can’t stand them. Because I believe they hate our country,” referring to Democrats.

The comment sparked outrage on social media, with critics calling it hateful, childish, and unpresidential. Many argued a president should represent all Americans, not express hatred for half the population.

The bill includes a \$4.5 trillion extension of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, mainly benefiting wealthy Americans and businesses, with some gains for middle-income earners.

However, over \$1 trillion was cut from Medicaid, and new work requirements for food stamps and healthcare could leave up to 12 million people uninsured by 2034.

More than \$45 billion is allocated for border infrastructure, including fencing, while \$100 billion will fund ICE and detention centers. An additional \$150 billion targets military projects.

Experts warn the bill will add \$3 to \$4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, calling it a short-term win with long-term consequences.

Trump’s remarks and the bill’s passage highlight the deep political divisions gripping the nation.
