Even for a man who once boasted that his supporters would get “tired of winning”, US President Donald Trump is on a roll.

The 79-year-old’s victory on his “one big, beautiful” bill is the latest in a series of consequential successes at home and abroad in the past two weeks.

From US air strikes that led to an Iran-Israel ceasefire to a Nato spending deal and a massive Supreme Court win, they have underscored Trump’s growing power.

The Republican will now take a victory lap wrapped up in the US flag after Congress passed the tax and spending bill that embodies the political goals of his second term.

He will sign it at an Independence Day event at the White House on Friday featuring a flyover by a B-2 stealth bomber, the type of aircraft used in the US raids on Iranian nuclear sites.

“It’s going to be a HOT TRUMP SUMMER,” the White House said on social media.
