‘B-2s And F-22s And F-35s’: Trump Teases Jet-Packed Signing Ceremony For Big, Beautiful Bill

President Donald Trump has promised an elaborate Independence Day signing ceremony for the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” recently approved by Congress.

The president teased plans for the ceremony while speaking to reporters on Thursday. Trump said that the ceremony would feature a number of United States military warplanes, including the B-2, F-22, and F-35.

Trump said the ceremony would start around 5 p.m. ET, and he would be joined by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and most Republicans in Congress.

“At about 5:00 o’clock, we’re going to have B-2s and F-22s and F-35s flying right over the White House,” Trump said. “It’s going to be a great day, so we’ll be signing with those beautiful planes flying right over our heads.”

The House gave final approval on Thursday to send the “Big, Beautiful Bill” to Trump’s desk in time for his July 4 deadline. Johnson and Trump whipped votes and met with holdouts in the hours leading up to the vote, securing a 218-214 majority to pass the legislation on Thursday afternoon.

“I think when you go over the bill, it was very easy to get them to a ‘Yes,’” Trump told reporters on Thursday after the bill’s passage. “You know, we went over that bill point after point: biggest tax cut in history, great for security, great on the southern border, immigration is covered – we covered just about everything. Again, it’s the biggest bill ever signed of its kind.”

Johnson secured the votes to pass the massive package at around 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) then held the House floor for over eight hours, speaking to delay the bill’s passage, but ultimately powerless to stop it.

“With one big, beautiful bill, we are going to make this country stronger, safer, and more prosperous than ever before. And every American is going to benefit from this,” Johnson said just before the vote. “Today we are laying a key cornerstone of America’s new Golden Age.”

The bill’s passage is just the latest landmark victory for the president that has seen a cascade of wins in recent weeks. Just under two weeks ago, Trump greenlit a bomb and missile strike targeting Iranian nuclear facilities that “obliterated” Tehran’s nuclear program at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
