President Donald Trump signed the Republican tax cut bill Friday morning before leaving for his Christmas break in Florida.
The House and Senate passed the tax measure into law earlier this week, delivering Trump his first major legislative victory of his first year in office.
Despite the bill having low approval ratings before Congress passed it this week, Trump said he believes the public will come around once people see the benefits in their paychecks next year.
Trump praised companies such as Boeing, Wells Fargo, and Comcast, which have pledged to offer employees bonuses and, in some cases, increased wages after the tax bill passed.
Looking forward to his second year in office, Trump suggested that he may try work with Democrats on an infrastructure plan.
Calling an infrastructure bill "the easiest of all," Trump said he would reach out to Democrats to get it done
Trump also signed a short-term spending bill to fund the government, just hours before the midnight Friday deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown.
