On March 3, 2025, Rep. Jason Smith expressed support for President Trump’s border policies through a tweet stating that "Americans overwhelmingly support President Trump’s aggressive border policies." He highlighted that enforcing national laws under Trump's administration was reducing violence and ensuring resources were directed to American citizens rather than illegal aliens.

Later on the same day, March 3, he addressed tax policy by tweeting about Congress's efforts to build on Trump's 2017 tax cuts. According to Smith's post "As Congress moves to build on President Trump’s historic 2017 tax cuts," he emphasized that these cuts benefited working families and noted that federal tax rates for the bottom 20% of earners had reached their lowest level in four decades.

The following day, March 4, Rep. Smith turned his attention to international trade issues.

He commended President Trump for defending America's interests against such unfair barriers.
