Imagine Donald Trump traveling to the UK for a "private visit" to one of his golf estates and while there, signs a monumental bill passed by the US Congress. Nah! Imposicant! If you can't imagine that even for a Trump, why do you think it is okay for our president to do so?
That bill was monumental. Conventional wisdom demanded that there should have been a signing ceremony with the President, VP, NASS Principal Officers, CSOs and IOC executives in attendance to give significance. Unfortunately that opportunity is lost.
One problem with this administration is its inability to "identify & maximize the moment", to cast a story that patriots can own. This is one of those examples and it's sad that the Presidency didn't see the value it can create from properly framing this for people to understand.
That said, we should not let the lack of foresight distract us from the significance of signing the bill and how it'll help bridge the revenue gap of not only the Federal Govt but the State and Local Govts as well. Congrats to NASS for delivering and to the President for signing.
