Donald Trump’s MAGA Reconciliation Bill Will Feature the Worst of His Unpopular Project 2025 Agenda

“Straight out of the gate, Donald Trump is pushing a sweeping reconciliation bill that will feature the worst and most unpopular parts of his Project 2025 agenda — from tax handouts for the ultra-rich to playing politics with border security. As Trump’s MAGA minions in Congress scramble to fall in line behind his toxic agenda, Democrats will fight back against this extreme and out-of-touch legislation that puts billionaires and special interests over working families.”

Donald Trump is pushing for his MAGA minions in Congress to pass one massive bill with the most extreme and unpopular components of his Project 2025 agenda.

The Hill: “President-elect Trump on Sunday made public his support for Republican lawmakers to pass key components of his agenda into law with a single reconciliation bill, previewing what is expected to be a lengthy and complicated legislative task in the first few months of his second term.

“‘Members of Congress are getting to work on one powerful Bill that will bring our Country back, and make it greater than ever before,’ Trump posted on Truth Social.

“‘We must Secure our Border, Unleash American Energy, and Renew the Trump Tax Cuts, which were the largest in History, but we will make it even better – NO TAX ON TIPS,’ he added, making the dubious claim that tariffs on foreign imports would offset for the cost of new spending and tax cuts.

“‘Republicans must unite, and quickly deliver these Historic Victories for the American People,’ Trump posted. ‘Get smart, tough, and send the Bill to my desk to sign as soon as possible.’”

Politico: “Trump backs massive single bill for taxes, border and energy”

“Trump, on Truth Social, revived one topic that causes heartburn among a swath of congressional Republicans — using tariffs to help pay for the tax package. Trump’s talk of tariffs has sparked unease particularly in the Senate, where farm state Republicans worry the agriculture industry will be the target of foreign retaliation. Key Senate Republicans have also said they don’t believe tariffs are a viable option as spending offsets.”

CNN: “GOP congressional leaders set the stage to move on Trump’s agenda

“Donald Trump and his GOP allies in Congress have recently shared some of the first details of their ambitious agenda — sweeping tax cuts, border security and raising the debt limit — which they hope to muscle through in the first 100 days of the president-elect’s term.”

Roll Call: “Speaker Mike Johnson laid out an ambitious timeline Sunday for a mammoth budget reconciliation package that would enact much of President-elect Donald Trump’s legislative agenda in the first 100 days of his new administration.

“The House plans to pass a single reconciliation bill as soon as April 3 that would incorporate border security, the extension of expiring tax cuts and an increase in the nation’s borrowing limit coupled with spending cuts, among other things, Johnson said on Fox’s ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ program. He said the Senate would then clear the package for Trump’s signature by the end of April or ‘certainly by May.’”
