Jason Smith, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri's 8th district, recently shared his views on social media regarding trade policies and political dynamics in Washington. His comments provide insight into his support for former President Trump's economic strategies and his critique of the Democratic party's actions.
On March 4, 2025, Smith welcomed followers to what he termed as the "copy-paste resistance" in a brief tweet.
Later that day, at 22:50 UTC, Smith expressed strong support for former President Trump’s trade policies. He stated that "President Trump will do whatever it takes to defend American workers, farmers, and manufacturers against predatory trade practices." Smith emphasized that Trump's "America First trade policy will bring revenues back into the US and provide Americans with more good paying jobs" in his tweet.
In a subsequent post on March 5, 2025, at 02:10 UTC, Smith compared Trump's accomplishments with those of President Biden. He remarked that "President Trump has accomplished more in six weeks on tax, trade, energy, and deregulation than President Biden did in four years." Additionally, he criticized House Democrats for their response during the President's speech by suggesting they should simply "Clap" in his tweet.
