On June 8th, Trump Advisor: Don't Just Focus on Trump-Musk Spat, Two Positive News Are Being Overlooked. On Saturday, Trump's advisor Dick Morris joked in a media interview that people are too obsessed with the "spat" between Trump and Musk, overlooking two important news items that might completely change the "Beautiful Big Bill" debate. Morris stated, "I'm not a marriage counselor, so I can't comment on their relationship. But as a political advisor, let's talk about the 'Beautiful Big Bill'. The first piece of news is that the Federal Reserve data shows GDP growth of 4.7% in the first two months of this quarter. The Congressional Budget Office predicted 1.8%, and if it reaches 3%, the budget can be balanced. The 'Beautiful Big Bill' will not increase the deficit at all, and it's actually great. The second piece of news is that the import volume in the recent month is less than half of the previous month, which shows that Trump's tariffs are effective and will continue to be powerful, simply fantastic!"
Morris emphasized that economic performance remains the key factor determining the success of the 2026 midterm elections, and Trump has paved the way for the budget bill through a series of executive orders, "This time is different, we won't miss the opportunity again."
BlockBeats Note: Trump's massive tax budget proposal is called the "Beautiful Big Bill". The updated version of the bill passed the House of Representatives last month by a slim margin (215 to 214 votes) and has been sent to the Senate, where it is expected to face resistance from some Republican dissenters. The Republican leadership's goal is to deliver the bill to the President for signature before July 4th, with the best version as close to the current version as possible.
