U.S President Donald Trump touched down in Iowa for a fiery rally just hours after Congress passed his $4.5 trillion ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. In front of a raucous crowd at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Trump celebrated the massive tax cut and border security package — calling it the biggest legislative win of his presidency.
Trump slammed Democrats for voting against the bill, warning they will “regret this forever.” The former president praised Republicans for delivering on core promises and said the legislation will launch the U.S. into “a rocket ship economy.”
With 2024 behind him and 2028 in sight, Trump declared that this victory marks a turning point in America’s future. Will this be the defining moment of his second term?
00:00Congress passed the one big, beautiful bill to make America great again.
00:06With this bill, every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept.
00:12This bill includes the largest tax cut in American history.
00:17There could be no better birthday present for America than the phenomenal victory we achieved just hours ago
00:24when Congress passed the one big, beautiful bill to make America great again.
00:30Right?
00:33And in the last election, the people gave us a historic mandate to cut taxes, raise take-home pay, bring back jobs, stop the invasion, that horrible invasion.
00:46Who would do that? Who would do that? That horrible? Who would do that to us?
00:50Who would do that to us?
00:54Deport the illegals and slash hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud.
00:59And that's what we're doing.
01:01With this bill, every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept.
01:07You know, we actually, they had a report today on some crazy fake station, but it wasn't fake in this regard.
01:14They said, you know, this guy actually did more than he promised.
01:17I did.
01:23And I have another hat back there.
01:25It says, Donald Trump was right about everything.
01:28And I said, no, no.
01:32That sounds a little too conceited, but it happens to be true, I must say.
01:35This bill includes the largest tax cut in American history, the largest spending cut in American history, the largest border security investment in American history.
01:51Although I must tell you, if you saw last month, they had zero people coming through our borders.
01:59Zero.
02:00I'm not sure that's even possible.
02:02You know, I'll take it.
02:04But somebody must think I'll do it.
02:05And very importantly for Iowa, this bill rescues over two billion family farms from the so-called estate tax or the death tax.
02:13In other words, before Trump, you were losing farms to the banks.
02:19Before Trump, you were losing the farms like nobody's ever seen before.
02:23You love your children.
02:25You don't feel so well.
02:26You pass away.
02:27You leave everything to your children.
02:28And they have to pay a bigger estate tax or a death tax, as we call it.
02:33And they couldn't do it.
02:33They go out and borrow money, and all of a sudden, the bank is foreclosing on the farm.
02:37Not going to happen.
02:38You have no more estate tax.
02:40You have no more death tax to pay.
02:45Now, that's if you love your children.
02:47If you don't love your children, it doesn't matter.
02:50Just forget about what I said.
02:52Not going to help.
02:53But if you love them or if you love somebody that you're leaving it to, think of that.
02:56No death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowings from, in some cases, a fine banker.
03:03And in some cases, shylocks and bad people.
03:07But they took away a lot of families.
03:10They destroyed a lot of families.
03:12But we did the opposite.
03:13So just remember, to me, it's so important.
03:15And it was mostly important for places like we're at right now.
03:19It's really, I'm so proud of it.
03:21And at the same time, this bill cuts $1.5 trillion in spending.
03:26So wasteful spending is being cut by $1.5 trillion.
03:31And I've got to tell you, I want to thank Republican congressmen and women because what they did is incredible last night.
03:39And the Senate, the Republican Senate, we got, not with all of the things we did, with the tax cuts and rebuilding our military, not one Democrat voted for us.
03:49And I think we use it in the campaign that's coming up, the midterms, because we've got to beat them.
03:54But all of the things that we've given, and they wouldn't vote only because they hate Trump.
03:59But I hate them, too.
04:01You know that?
04:02So it's sort of, I really do, I hate them.
04:07I cannot stand them because I really believe they hate our country.
04:10You want to know the truth?
04:12But it kicks illegal aliens off of Medicaid and food stamps and allows us to hire 3,000 new Border Patrol agents and 10,000 new ICE agents.
04:22And they are great patriots, the Border Patrol and ICE, to carry out the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.
04:31And I don't like saying that.
04:34I don't like saying that.
04:35But we have a country.
04:37We have a country to run.
04:38And we have so many people coming in that shouldn't be here.
04:41And they did.
04:42They came in from prisons and they came in from drugs and gangs and drug lords, the worst in the world.
04:50They came in from mental institutions.
04:52They emptied mental institutions into our wonderful country.
04:57And I know exactly what's going on in Iowa.
04:59You had some horrible crime in Iowa caused by illegal aliens.
05:03But we're getting them the hell out of here.
05:05We have no choice.
05:09And our great, big, beautiful bill will build the Golden Dome Missile Defense Shield.
05:15We're going to have the best.
05:16And together, as we look forward to the 250th year of American independence, we will make America powerful again.
