In a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill, former President Donald Trump delivered a clear and emphatic message to House Republicans: rally behind the sweeping new legislative package dubbed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” The goal, Trump emphasized, is to pass a transformative measure that promises sweeping tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and a bold overhaul of domestic priorities.

According to several sources familiar with the private meeting, Trump urged Republican lawmakers to align closely with House Speaker Mike Johnson, emphasizing that unity is essential to moving the party’s agenda forward. The message was direct — set aside internal divisions and move together with purpose.

Following the meeting, Trump addressed the press to clear up what he called false rumors about tensions or impatience during his remarks. “I’m not losing patience. We’re ahead of schedule,” he said. “Anybody that told you otherwise is a liar.”

Trump painted a picture of a united Republican front, dismissing reports of widespread resistance. “It’s not a question of holdouts. We have a tremendously unified party,” he insisted. “There are some people who want a couple of things that maybe I don’t like, or they’re not going to get, but overall, the support is overwhelming.”

He also praised Speaker Johnson’s leadership, noting the fragile balance in the House. “We had a majority of one. We were one heart attack away from losing the House, okay? Now we have seven. That’s a big one.”

Trump used the opportunity to highlight recent economic accomplishments and global investments, referring to the return of trillions of dollars from international ventures. “We took our $5.1 trillion out of the Middle East. They’re reinvesting it. It’s going to be ultimately more than that — 180 wide-body Boeing aircraft. They’re spending money at levels nobody’s ever seen,” he said. “Usually, a president travels and spends money. We went on a trip and came back with trillions.”

While Trump shared big-picture goals, the core of his message centered on legislative progress. The “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” he said, will be one of the most impactful pieces of legislation in modern U.S. history. He promised it would include:

• Historic tax cuts for working families and businesses

• Elimination of taxes on tips and overtime pay

• A deep reduction in federal regulations

• Incentives designed to boost domestic industry and job creation

He closed his press appearance with optimism. “We’re going to have a bill, the biggest bill ever passed. Tremendous tax cuts, tremendous incentives, tremendous regulation cuts — all these regulations that are so horrible.”

Behind the scenes, Trump was equally forceful, according to multiple sources. He called on Republicans to remain disciplined and warned against any disruptions to key provisions of the bill. One particularly stern warning was directed toward efforts to change Medicaid: “Don’t f— around with Medicaid,” he reportedly said, signaling that any attempt to scale back health protections could fracture the delicate coalition needed to pass the bill.

In response to the broader policy rollout, the White House issued a promotional outline detailing “20 reasons why Congress must unite” behind the legislation. The document, circulated among lawmakers and the media, emphasized economic growth, middle-class relief, and energy independence.

Though the majority of Republicans have signaled support, some ideological tensions remain. A small group of fiscal conservatives and libertarian-leaning members have expressed concern over specific spending provisions. Among them, Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky has continued to vote “no,” drawing Trump’s ire.

Trump didn’t hold back when speaking about Massie. “He’s a grandstander,” Trump said, adding that Massie “should be voted out of office.” The comment signaled Trump’s willingness to use political leverage — including endorsements and campaign support — to pressure dissenting voices within the party.

As the bill advances, its success may hinge not only on the content but on the strength of the party’s unity. Trump’s message was clear: with a strong majority, effective leadership, and aligned purpose, Republicans have a rare opportunity to reshape the country’s economic and legislative direction.

“The party is strong,” Trump said. “And when we work together, there’s nothing we can’t do.”
