President Donald Trump is riding a surge of momentum after signing his $3.3 trillion “big, beautiful bill” on Friday—capping off a string of major victories for his administration in recent weeks.
The bill’s passage follows a series of high-profile wins, including a favorable Supreme Court ruling and successful precision strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Fox News reported.
“President Trump has delivered more wins for the American people in two weeks than most Presidents do in four years,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Thursday statement to Fox News Digital.
“This has been the most historic two weeks of any Administration in history. Thanks to President Trump, America is back and is the hottest country in the world!” she added.
The tax and domestic policy bill reached President Trump’s desk after the House passed its final version on Thursday—meeting his self-imposed deadline to have the legislation finalized by the Fourth of July.
The bill features several key provisions, including the permanent extension of individual and business tax cuts originally enacted under Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It also introduces new deductions aimed at eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.
One of the more controversial elements is a $5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling—a move that has drawn criticism from figures like SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
In addition, the legislation rolls back several Biden-era green energy tax credits and directs roughly $350 billion toward defense spending and Trump’s large-scale deportation initiative targeting illegal immigration, Fox added.
The measure also enacts major Medicaid reforms, including a new requirement that recipients work at least 80 hours per month. It further expands work requirements for those receiving benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Trump has had several other major victories too.
On June 21, the United States launched airstrikes targeting critical Iranian nuclear facilities, involving more than 125 U.S. aircraft, according to Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In a national address following the strikes, President Trump declared that the nuclear sites had been “completely and totally obliterated.” General Dan Caine added that initial battle damage assessments indicated “all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction.”
“We have degraded their program by one to two years, at least intel assessments inside the Department (of Defense) assess that,” Defense Department spokesman Sean Parnell told reporters Wednesday.
Trump has also had several legal victories.
On June 27, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to bar lower courts from issuing universal injunctions. Several of President Trump’s executive orders during his second term—including his ban on birthright citizenship—had been stalled by such nationwide rulings.
The Supreme Court’s decision limits lower courts to issuing broad injunctions only in rare, narrowly defined circumstances—a move Trump said would put an end to what he called a “colossal abuse of power.”
“I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months, we’ve seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers,” Trump said on June 27.
On Tuesday, CBS News’ parent company, Paramount Global, agreed to a $16 million settlement with President Trump over a lawsuit he filed in October 2024. The suit stemmed from a 60 Minutes interview featuring his 2024 election opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
In the lawsuit, Trump claimed that CBS deceptively edited Vice President Harris’s interview by omitting her initial, less polished response to a question about why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t “listening” to the Biden administration.
The settlement funds will not be paid directly to Trump but will instead be allocated toward his future presidential library and used to cover the plaintiffs’ legal fees and costs, Fox reported.
CBS stated that the agreement was reached through mediation and confirmed that Paramount would not issue an apology as part of the settlement.
