Barack Obama Attacks President Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’

Former President Barack Obama posted a scathing, fearmongering statement Thursday morning on the passage by the House of President Donald Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’

Obama, who remained in the nation’s capital after leaving the White House in 2017 to exercise power and influence, is apparently still sore that his sock puppet former President Joe Biden failed in his bid for a second term last year.

The reconciliation bill that contains items to reduce taxes, reform Medicaid, fund border control and mass deportations among a host of other legislative fixes passed the Republican-controlled House by one vote early Thursday after a late night session and now goes to the Republican-controlled Senate with an eye to getting the bill to Trump for his signature by Independence Day, July 4th.

Obama’s statement:

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.

They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

That means some of the most vulnerable Americans – families, the elderly, folks with disabilities – won’t be able to get the lifesaving treatment, medication, or care they need.

These are people you know. So let your voice be heard and reach out to your senators now to let them know how much this will impact you.

The White House released a summary of the One Big Beautiful Bill Thursday in a statement criticizing House Democrats for voting unanimously against the bill:

The One, Big, Beautiful Bill has PASSED the House of Representatives — without a single Democrat voting to cut taxes, secure the border, or protect taxpayer-funded benefits for Americans who need them.

Here are only a few of the policies Democrats just unanimously opposed:

The largest tax cut in history. This means $13,300 more for American families and wage increases up to $11,000 for workers with a double-digit percent decrease to their tax bills — plus NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, a tax cut on seniors’ Social Security benefits, an expanded child tax credit, and a tax deduction on American-made vehicles. Americans making between $30,000 and $80,000 per year will see their taxes cut by 15% next year.

Raising wages. American workers will see wage increases of up to $11,600; a typical family with two kids will see take-home pay rise by up to $13,300.

Strong border security. This makes President Trump’s border crackdown permanent with the largest investment ever — funding AT LEAST one million illegal immigrant deportations per year, thousands of miles of new border wall and barriers, 18,000+ new immigration officials, and pay raises for our great ICE and Border Patrol agents.

Protecting Medicaid for American citizens who need it. This ENDS taxpayer-funded benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who are gaming the system and requires able-bodied Americans to work if they receive benefits.

Pay raises for troops. This increases special pay for servicemembers and gives them higher allowances for housing, healthcare, and family assistance.

Ending taxpayer-funded chemical castration and mutilation. It reverses the Biden-era mandate that Medicaid cover so-called “gender transition” procedures.

Modernizing air traffic control. This will allow President Trump to act where the Biden Administration failed by completely overhauling the systems that keep Americans flying safely and efficiently.

Revolutionizing the nation’s defense. This funds President Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense shield, restocks America’s arsenal, expands our naval fleet, and improves military readiness to meet the needs of a changing world.

Protecting family farmers. The bill prevents the greedy death tax from hitting two million family-owned farms that would otherwise see their exemptions cut in half and cuts taxes on farmers by over $10 billion.

Unleashing American energy dominance. The bill increases onshore and offshore oil and gas leases, spurs job growth, makes energy more affordable, and makes America less dependent on foreign adversaries.

Reversing runaway spending. This delivers $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings — the most in U.S. history and the largest deficit reduction in nearly 30 years.

Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought spoke about the savings in the bill with Mornings with Maria host Maria Bartiromo Thursday morning:

OMB Director @russvought: “This bill will help debt and deficits… this is a nearly $2T mandatory savers. We haven’t seen anything like this. It’s history.” pic.twitter.com/lRcX23KroV
