Nestpoint’s John Thomas on Autopen Accountability and “Big Beautiful Bill” Developments

Washington, D.C., May 26, 2025 Nestpoint Managing Director John Thomas appeared on News Nation to offer insight into the political fallout surrounding President Biden’s alleged use of an autopen, as well as developments around the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” a centerpiece of the Trump administration’s economic strategy.

As Republican lawmakers continue investigating the extent of President Biden’s awareness and involvement in major executive decisions, Thomas emphasized the broader implications of the probe: “This isn’t just about Biden—it’s about the cabinet members and political staff who knowingly looked the other way and told the public he was ‘better than ever.’ That matters for future elections.”

He warned that any findings revealing unauthorized use of the autopen or delegation of key decisions could unravel existing legislation and compromise public trust.

On the ongoing debate over the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill,” Thomas expressed confidence that the legislation will pass, citing strong momentum and political alignment within the Senate: “The president wants it passed—and the senators most critical to that vote want to stay aligned with him. That kind of pressure matters.”

Responding to critiques that the bill benefits the wealthy, Thomas pointed to its potential relief for working Americans, including the elimination of taxes on tips. “This isn’t just about billionaires. That’s real relief for the working class.”

Thomas also pushed back against doubts over the bill’s economic projections, referencing the economic growth seen during Trump’s first term. “You don’t get more tax revenue by raising taxes. You get it through growth,” he said.

Throughout the discussion, Thomas reinforced Nestpoint’s focus on strategic clarity in complex political and economic environments. His insights reflect Nestpoint’s deep engagement at the intersection of policy, markets, and leadership accountability.
