Trump: Open to delaying deadline on 'big, beautiful bill'

"I'd love to do July 4, but I think it's very hard to do July 4," Trump said. "I would say maybe July 4, or somewhere around there," the president added.

Pressed by CNN's Kevin Liptak on whether some proposed amendments go too far, Trump responded, "I don't want to go too crazy with cuts," despite the bill's combination of deep tax cuts and reductions in safety-net programs. "I don't like cuts, there are certain things that have been cut, which is good. I think we're doing well. We're gonna have to see some very complicated stuff. Great enthusiasm, as you know. And I think at the end we're gonna have it," Trump said.

The end game is cutting the social safety net to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Which has been Establishment Republicans policy for the last century or so

Sorry, Trumpers, they have made complete fools of you yet again.

MAGA volunteered for the role of fool.

We can only hope that their continued exposure of such will deflate their hubris.

So that they won't be such vicious fools.

Never bring up a bill for a vote without knowing you have the votes to pass it is the #1 rule in politics.

It was always going to pass.... gotta pay off the billionaire donors with tax cuts so they can afford a second yacht.

Yup. They just watered down the budget cuts so it runs up the deficit instead.
