Rep. Jimmy Gomez took to social media to voice his criticism of former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in recent tweets. Gomez, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 34th district since replacing Xavier Becerra in 2017, offered his perspective on various economic and trade policies implemented by the previous administration.

On April 9, 2025, Gomez tweeted, "That’s because Trump & the Republicans made up number!" The context of this remark was not elaborated further in the post.

Later that day, on April 9, 2025, Gomez continued his critique by addressing the actions of Trade Ambassador Greer, writing, "Trade Amb. Greer spent the hearing defending cooked-up math and Trump’s dumb trade policies—then Trump caved on most tariffs mid-hearing and Greer had no idea. Who’s calling the shots? Clearly not Greer. Trump’s billionaire cabinet is crashing our economy for their own gain." This tweet highlighted Gomez's disapproval of the handling of trade policies under Trump, pointing out the apparent discord within the administration.

In a follow-up post on April 9, 2025, Gomez announced his appearance on a live broadcast, stating, " LIVE now on @TheLeadCNN with @jaketapper: Trump’s reckless trade policies are jacking up prices for working families. His bad deals are hitting your wallet." Through this tweet, Gomez conveyed his stance on the economic impact of Trump's trade deals on American families.
