President Donald Trump, in a series of early morning tweets, praised the Senate's budget passage, saying it is the first step toward delivering "massive" tax cuts.

Trump went out of his way to acknowledge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. One of his tweets included a short video of McConnell talking up the budget approval. The video later promotes the tax package noting, "Americans need tax reform."

The budget was passed Thursday night by the Senate and allows Republicans to use a procedural maneuver to approve tax legislation with 50 or more votes, The Washington Post noted. In doing so, it eliminates the need for Senate Democrats to support it.
