President Trump celebrated the Senate’s middle-of-the-night passage of a sweeping tax overhaul by calling it the “the largest tax decrease in the history of our country by far” and predicting Democrats could be harmed in future elections for not backing it.
The president said he was called at about 3 a.m. to tell him the Senate had passed the bill.
“It’s the largest tax decrease in the history of our country by far,” Trump said during a fundraiser in New York on Saturday morning. “Not even close.”
The Senate bill passed early Saturday after last-minute changes were made to the legislation to win the support of nearly every Republican. All Democrats voted against the bill, and only one Republican, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, opposed it.
