4. None of these provisions should be in a bill that is trying to avoid a filibuster under the Byrd Rule

Most of these provisions clearly do not fit under the Byrd Rule in that these provisions are not budget related. trump wanted a big, beautiful bill such a bill required that all provisions must meet the requirements of the Byrd rule (i.e., be budget related) to avoid a filibuster. trump's goal of a big beautiful bill was a dumb move unless the Senate republicans were willing to do away with the filibuster.
