"Just a few months ago, Donald Trump sought to bamboozle the American people into believing that his One Big Beautiful Bill Act with its trillions in tax cuts for the rich was a legislative wonder stuffed with one marvel after another. But a Pew opinion poll in August found that millions of Americans have wised up about the measure and now view it as a big, unbeautiful monstrosity."
"As we saw in the town halls held across the US, many Americans are furious about some painful things that Trump and congressional Republicans inserted into the bill: cuts that will make health insurance more expensive, cuts that reduce food assistance, cuts that make it harder for students from working families to afford college. All this is bad news for working families who struggle to make ends meet."
"President Trump and his administration can't hide from the fact that many Americans detest the bill 46% disapprove of it, while just 32% approve (23% say they're unsure what they think). What's more, 33% of Americans strongly disapprove of the bill. Alarmed that the bill has become a public relations and political disaster, Trump and his allies have embraced a curious strategy to address that problem."
Donald Trump promoted the One Big Beautiful Bill as massive tax cuts and legislative achievement. A Pew poll in August shows rising public opposition, with 46% disapproving, 32% approving, and 23% unsure; 33% strongly disapprove. The bill contains large tax cuts that predominantly benefit wealthy households and includes provisions that will raise health insurance costs, reduce food assistance, and make college less affordable for students from working families. Republican leaders responded by rebranding the proposal as the Working Families Tax Cut Bill while preserving benefits that allocate 45% of next year's tax cuts to the highest-earning 5%.
