The mainstream US media seems to be in love with the idea that Trump is some sort of super political salesman while Democrats canât do anything right, but the tax cuts for the rich bill is shaping up to be a Big Beautiful disaster in part because even Republicans admit that Democrats have beaten them at defining and branding the legislation.
Punchbowl News reported that Republicans are worried that the Big Beautiful Bill is a loser:

âA messaging void is political death,â one House Republican aide told us.
