Representative Jimmy Gomez of California has made several comments on social media regarding former President Trump's policies. Gomez is currently serving in the U.S. Congress, representing California's 34th district, a position he has held since 2017.

On April 3, 2025, Rep. Gomez shared two images on social media without accompanying text "https://t.co/QdwdwFhu5f https://t.co/EigiBXju6f".

Later that day, Gomez criticized the tariffs imposed by the former president, referring to them as "dumb." He wrote, "My statement on Trump’s dumb tariffs https://t.co/e9PxmQtRX0".

Continuing his criticism, Rep. Gomez stated there was no coherent plan behind the tariffs, which he argued increased the costs of essential items like groceries, clothes, and gas. On the same day, he posted, "There’s no plan here. Just Trump’s dumb tariffs that make everyday life more expensive: groceries, clothes, gas, cars, appliances—everything working families rely on. (2/7)".
