for anyone curious, this wasn’t specifically trump, but it was indeed a republican congress bill. texas republican was the initial sponsor and then republicans lined up to cosponsor.
this was done to fuel their tax cuts to a small group of a certain people.
you can see all of the sponsors here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1/cosponsors https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1/co...
- leereeves 1y agoIt was indeed passed by Republicans in Congress (with Democrats mostly voting Nay), but it was signed by Obama (12/22/2017). Why did he sign it?

- drgo 1y agoThanks Obama! singing terrible bills even after he left office.
- jyounker 1y agoPay attention to the dates. It was signed on 12/22/2017. Obama's last day in office was 01/20/2017. That means it was signed by Trump.

- NooneAtAll3 1y agowhat do you mean by "sponsor"?
- bradleyjg 1y agoIn the U.S. Congress when a bill is introduced in either House it needs to have one or more members to formally ask the chamber to consider the bill—they are known as the bill’s sponsors.
- dyauspitr 1y agoThat sounds exactly like what the parent comment said- a MAGA bill.
