Following the approval of Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” former President Barack Obama shared a Fourth of July message that many interpreted as a subtle rebuke. The bill, which passed Congress by a slim margin, is projected to add trillions to the national debt and includes tax cuts alongside cuts to healthcare and food safety programs.
Before the vote, Obama warned that the bill could cause millions to lose healthcare and increase costs for working families. On Independence Day, he reminded Americans that the country belongs to all citizens and called for unity and renewed commitment to democracy.
His words resonated with many who viewed them as a response to the current political climate and Trump’s policies, offering encouragement in difficult times.
