Trump signs controversial megabill cutting Medicaid into law

Donald Trump has signed into law the so-called "big, beautiful" spending bill that cuts Medicaid and other services.

Chris Cameron of the New York Times reported, "President Trump signed his signature policy bill at a Fourth of July celebration event at the White House."

"Accompanied by a flyover of B2 bombers, the warplanes used in the recent bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites, Trump touted the massive tax cuts included in the bill and downplayed the unpopularity of the legislation in polls because of the potential impact of spending cuts to safety-net programs like Medicaid and food assistance," the report states.

“The largest spending cut, and yet, you won’t even notice it,” Trump said, reportedly adding, “The people are happy, they’re happy.”
