By a vote of 218 to 214, President Donald Trump’s divisive “One Big Beautiful Bill” barely passed the House on July 3. Many expressed concerns about the bill’s effects on social programs, immigration rights, the national debt, and the climate, even as supporters applauded significant tax cuts, defense spending, and border security reforms.

Trump made headlines with a divisive statement during a speech in Des Moines, Iowa. “They hate Trump, but I hate them too,” he said. I can’t stand them at all. Because I think they despise our nation,” he said of Democrats.Social media users were outraged by the remark, which some characterized as unpresidential, hateful, and juvenile.
