Trump meets with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill for first time since Jan. 6 uprising

Donald Trump made a successful return to Capitol Hill, meeting with House and Senate Republicans. He has reportedly managed to silence most critics and entice previously skeptical lawmakers to support his MAGA-fuelled campaign. The meetings were marked by a packed room of House Republicans singing "Happy Birthday" to Trump, who turns 78 on Friday. During the meetings, Trump discussed his re-election plans with separate groups of representatives and senators. One proposal he reportedly raised was an "all-tariff policy" that would eventually replace income tax. This idea involves imposing a tax-deductible policy, although it is unclear if this is a serious suggestion or simply a campaign talking point.
