The "One Big, Beautiful Bill" That Will Run Up the National Debt by Trillions, is the Democratic Party's Chance
to control the narrative."
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-one-big-beautiful-bill-that-will.html
This one is simple. This bill, the one Trump labels "one big, beautiful bill," is nothing more than a tax cut for billionaires, and with the Trump tarriffs, is going to cost Americans who have to work for a living more money. And if anyone still cares about it, it will massively increase the deficit.
Trump has been stuffing his own pockets, using this second term in the White House, right out in the open. In spite of what the law says, and it's pretty clear, Trump accepted a $400 million bribe in the form of an luxury jet from Qatar. He's illegally involved in a cryptocurrency business directly connected to his Presidency and he has not relenquished control of any of his business enterprises, another violation of the law. We, the people, are represented by those laws, so he is flaunting his ability to do as he pleases in our faces. He has nothing but contempt for the American people, including the ignorant and stupid people who call themselves his MAGA supporters.
What would happen to any one of us, if we decided to blatantly flaunt the law?
So there's the message. Trump is giving tax cuts to billionaires, while the rest of us will have to pay for them while bearing the cost of his tarrifs in increased prices in the consumer goods we buy.

We are at a point, just over 100 days into Trump's second term, where his overall approval rating as President, and his favorability rating has fallen into the toilet. We expected that, it happened last time. He cannot sustain support for a long time because he is so unstable and unpredictable, and he's not a competent leader. He's incapable of the kind of stability that is required for people to trust him. His assertions are lies, which means he promises to do things about something that doesn't exist. He's laid out his entire first term list of achievements in this "big, beautiful bill," so making that as unpopular as possible will have a long term electoral effect. It's the kind of messaging Democrats have been dreaming about, and now, here it is.
What will we do with it?
