The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Working-class Americans know that every dollar counts, and this bill will make life easier for citizens across every walk of life. It's a shame that the parliamentarian is making things difficult in the Senate, but if Congress puts its mind to it, it can push the bill across the finish line. Anyone who votes against it will be giving everyday Americans a hefty tax hike.
Anti-Trump narrative
Whether the president is lying about or just doesn't know what's in the bill, every analysis shows that it won't help everyday Americans because of the damage it does to Medicaid and what it doesn't do to relieve the tax burden on the working class. Despite the misinformation, the bill continues to poll poorly, a sign that maybe Trump should reconsider forcing it through Congress.
