Rep. Jason Smith, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 8th district, has recently expressed his views on several key political and economic issues through a series of tweets. Smith, who has been serving in Congress since 2013 after replacing Jo Ann Emerson, has shared his thoughts on tax policies, artificial intelligence leadership, and energy industry reforms.

On January 21, 2025, Rep. Jason Smith emphasized the importance of renewing the Trump tax cuts to stimulate economic growth in America. He stated that this renewal would lead to "more money in the pockets of millions of families, small businesses, farmers, and working class Americans" and provide them with more opportunities to progress.

Later that day, Smith addressed concerns about international competition in the field of artificial intelligence. He highlighted President Trump's efforts to establish American leadership in AI by introducing Stargate. According to Smith's tweet from January 21, "Stargate will support American companies competing in the modern economy and create good paying jobs", positioning the United States as a leader against adversarial nations like China.

On January 22, 2025, Smith critiqued former President Biden's administration while praising President Trump's recent executive actions aimed at revitalizing the American economy. In his tweet, he mentioned that "President Trump is already taking action to bring down" barriers by reopening the American energy industry and implementing policies designed to grow the economy and increase workers' wages.
