Posting on Truth Social about what is going on in Congress and his plans for getting the “Big, Beautiful Bill” passed now that the foreign policy situation has calmed down somewhat and he can get back to focusing on his domestic priorities, which is what the MAGA base largely wants him to focus on, President Trump advanced his bold plan for ramming the BBB through.
As background, while President Trump and his base are largely focused on the domestic agenda on which he largely ran and elected, namely the tax cuts and deportation ramps up that are enshrined in the BBB, the breakout of the Israel-Iran conflict and American involvement in it seemed to derail that focus somewhat. So, in posting about the matter on Truth Social, the president seemed to be signalling that the main focus is back on the domestic agenda.
Kicking off his post with essentially that message, the president noted that his ceasefire deal between the Israelis and Iranians means there is finally peace abroad, and so it is time to turn the focus once again inward and get the BBB passed. He said, “Now that we have made PEACE abroad, we must finish the job here at home by passing ‘THE GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,’ and getting the Bill to my desk, ASAP.”
Continuing, he took something of a detour away from the BBB specifically and argued that with the 250th birthday of America coming up, it is time to celebrate by having the BBB passed. He said, “It will be a Historic Present for THE GREAT PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, as we begin the Celebration of our Country’s 250th Birthday.”
Building on that detour, the president said that America is on the correct path to a bright future and the benefits of that future will be immense for many Americans. He wrote, on that point, “We are finally entering our Golden Age, which will bring unprecedented Safety, Security, and Prosperity for ALL of our Citizens.”
Then, returning to the BBB specifically and revealing his plan for forcing the legislature to pass it, he called on the Senate to do whatever it takes to pass it this week, including even forcing themselves to stay in a single room, likely the floor of the Senate, until the bill is passed. He said, “To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you must, don’t go home, and GET THE DEAL DONE THIS WEEK.”
Elaborating on that, he said none of the legislators would get to leave DC and go on vacation until the bill is finally passed by both houses of the legislature and lands on his desk for him to sign. He said, “Work with the House so they can pick it up, and pass it, IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL IT’S DONE.”

Concluding, he said the American people will be far better off with the BBB passed, and so it is the duty of the legislature to work as hard as it can to get the bill passed on their behalf. He said, “Everyone, most importantly the American People, will be much better off thanks to our work together. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
