"1. Triumphant after his election victory, Trump got Congress to pass legislation raising tax deductions, particularly for the very wealthy, sending the national debt soaring and cutting Medicaid. Congress called it A. The Here's What You Get, Suckers, Act. B. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act. C. The You Voted Him Back In, Now He's Your Problem Act. D. The Debt-Schmedt Act."
"2. Trump later said that the name was A. The perfect introduction for a long-term date with the American people. B. Something I'm already envisioning for the history books. C. Good for getting it approved but not good for explaining to people what it's about. D. A proposal sent to me by the wonderful folks at Very Rich Great-Grandparents for a Third Term."
2025 began and ended with Donald Trump at the center of U.S. politics, alongside high-profile policy and personality moments. Trump pushed legislation that raised tax deductions for the very wealthy, sent the national debt soaring, and cut Medicaid; Congress attached mocking nicknames to the measure. The year included satirical imagined Trump remarks about the law's name and reactions to its public reception. Kamala Harris released an autobiography after an electoral defeat that quoted Angela Merkel. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her retirement and received a mocking nickname in response. The year also carried rhetorical flourishes about Trump's hopes for a Nobel Peace Prize, framed satirically against other unlikely scenarios.
