“Declaration of Independence From National Decline”
The 900-page bill passed the House on Thursday, giving Trump a reason to celebrate with the American people in Iowa before returning to D.C. for the ceremonial signing.
“The first five months of our second term are a declaration of independence from a, really, national decline,” Trump told the crowd.
Military Honored as B-52 and F-35s Roar Overhead
In a jaw-dropping moment of patriotism, a B-52 bomber that had dropped one of the 30,000-lb bombs on Iran in Operation Midnight Hammer flew over the White House, escorted by F-35s, as Trump stood with First Lady Melania Trump during the national anthem.
“That is some sight,” Trump said. “Our country is more proud than it’s been in many, many years.”

Enlistment Hits Record High
Trump credited his administration’s leadership with reviving military morale, announcing that enlistment is now at an all-time high.
“We’re packed. We’re full,” Trump told the cheering crowd.
GOP Cheers Trump’s Policy Victory
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the bill a victory for the people:
“This is an encapsulation of all the policies that the president campaigned on and the American people voted on.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) personally handed Trump the gavel used during the House vote. Trump grinned and pounded the table, reenacting the moment for the crowd.

Fiscal Hawks Fold Under Pressure
Despite loud grumbling from the House Freedom Caucus, every member voted YES — turning the vote into a clear referendum on loyalty to Trump.
“They called their own bluff,” said Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI).
Trump Allies Target RINOs
Only two Republicans — Thomas Massie (KY) and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA) — voted NO with the Democrats. Trump’s team is already backing primary challengers to replace them.
In Massie’s district, polling shows him trailing a newcomer badly, a clear sign that defying Trump comes at a cost.
A Glorious Independence Day
With patriotic music, roaring jets, and a crowd of supporters on the White House lawn, Trump signed the bill into law surrounded by Republican lawmakers and military heroes.
“The First Lady worked hard to make this all work,” Trump said, nodding to Melania, who waved to the crowd with a smile.
