Passage of Donald Trump’s sweeping tax, health and spending bill was no small feat for Republicans, but selling it to the American people may prove to be tougher, even for a president who built a career on savvy branding.

The $3.4 trillion fiscal package narrowly squeaked through the Republican majorities in both the House and Senate after Trump jumped into late-night negotiating sessions to push it through. But the president has yet to convince the public that the law’s sweeping tax cuts and reductions to social safety-net programs are good policy.
