LAX Leader

Rep. Jimmy Gomez, who has been serving California's 34th district in the U.S. Congress since 2017, shared a series of tweets on March 5, 2025, expressing his critical views on policies associated with former President Donald Trump. Gomez's remarks reflect his ongoing concerns about economic inequality and policy decisions affecting working families.

In a tweet posted at 02:50:20 UTC, Gomez encapsulated his criticism of Trump's policies with the statement "The Trump Agenda—Defund, Defraud, Deceive."

Later that morning at 02:55:10 UTC, Gomez elaborated on this critique by discussing the impact of the 2017 tax reforms under Trump's administration. He stated "The Trump Tax Scam of 2017 gave tax cuts of over $51,000 on average for the 1%. Working people got pennies. He just said he wants to do it again—and this time cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid to pay for it." This comment highlights Gomez's concern over economic disparities and potential reductions in social services funding.

At 02:59:20 UTC, Gomez further addressed economic issues related to tariffs imposed during Trump's presidency. He tweeted "Trump’s tariffs will make everything more expensive: tomatoes, strawberries, mangos, beer, auto parts, electronics—you name it. We can lower the cost of living—if Trump stopped putting billionaires like Musk over working families." Here, he criticized the increased costs borne by consumers due to these tariffs and emphasized a need for policy changes favoring working families over wealthy individuals.
