President Trump said Tuesday that the name for his “big, beautiful” megabill, which he signed in July, is “not good for explaining to people what it’s all about.”

“So the bill that — I’m not gonna use the term, ‘great, big, beautiful,’ that was good for getting it approved, but it’s not good for explaining to people what it’s all about,” Trump said during a Tuesday Cabinet meeting.

“It’s a massive tax cut for the middle class. It’s a massive tax cut for jobs. And it’s, I mean, think of it, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security,” the president added.

The megabill that Trump signed into law in early July will add close to $3.4 trillion to the U.S.’s deficits over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated in a report from late July.

Last week, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon went after House Republicans for not doing an effective job of promoting Trump’s megabill over the summer recess.

“I haven’t seen a massive effort to sell the big, beautiful bill and actually what it stands for,” Bannon said on his “War Room” podcast.

The former Trump strategist also blasted the lack of GOP town halls, saying Republicans went home for the August recess but were not having town hall events to promote Trump’s most important legislative package.

He urged House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to press GOP lawmakers to laud the bill in public forums. 

“Johnson and Thune should cancel all overseas junkets for members and force them to have town halls, meet and greets, editorial board meetings — anything to get the word out on the BBB. The supply-side tax cut needs to be sold, and it ain’t gonna sell itself,” Bannon told Politico

“The 2026 midterms have started, and the Republicans are letting down the president.”
