@PressSec said the BBB "does not add to the deficit."
White House (@realDonaldTrump) : the bill "will save $1.6T."
CBO forecast for FY2025 deficit before BBB: $1.865T.

We'll now watch the deficit month by month to see if reality matches the rhetoric.

@realDonaldTrump The US–UK “trade deal” isn’t a real deal. There’s no signed legal text, no ratification, no detailed tariff schedules, no enforcement mechanism. It’s a handshake, not a treaty. A framework at best—PR, not policy. #TradeReality #Trump
