Rep. Jimmy Gomez, who has represented California’s 34th district in the U.S. Congress since 2017, shared a series of statements on April 4, 2025, regarding various political and economic topics on the social media platform X.
In a tweet acknowledging the anniversary of NATO's establishment, Gómez emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration. He stated, "76 years ago today, NATO was created in the hopes of shaping a safer and more peaceful future built on cooperation and mutual respect. It has never been more important to remember that we are stronger together than we ever could be alone." This message was posted at 16:17:51 UTC.
Following this, Gomez criticized former President Trump's economic policies, asserting that tariffs imposed during Trump's administration were detrimental to the economy. At 16:19:57 UTC, he remarked, "Trump's dumb tariffs are actively plunging us into a recession and raising prices on working people. This was caused by decisions that Trump and Republicans made, not by some external economic shock." He concluded with the hashtag #TrumpSlump.
Later in the day, Gomez commented on Trump's activities, contrasting them with the financial concerns faced by American citizens. At 17:46:17 UTC, he tweeted, "Trump is out golfing while Americans who’ve spent their lives working and saving for retirement watch their 401(k)s drop."
