Trump Says He ‘Hates’ Democrats After Bill Draws Zero Support

President Donald Trump used unusually blunt language against congressional Democrats during a 4 July speech, declaring that he "hates" the party’s lawmakers because, he claimed, they "hate our country." "They hate Trump, but I hate them too. I really do. I hate them," he told supporters. Trump said not a single Democrat backed his proposed “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which he described as a package of tax cuts and military-rebuilding measures. “Not one Democrat voted for us,” he complained, adding that their opposition stemmed from personal animus toward him. The remarks represent one of the president’s sharpest verbal attacks on the opposition since taking office and underscore the intense partisan divide surrounding the administration’s legislative agenda.
