Rep. Jerry Nadler, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 12th district, recently shared his perspectives on various issues through a series of tweets. His statements address concerns about economic policies and appointments within the Trump administration.

On March 6, 2025, Rep. Nadler criticized former President Donald Trump's approach to tariffs, stating: "Like clockwork, Trump is once again kicking the can down the road on many of his own disastrous tariffs—because even he knows they’ll drive up prices for American families and crush small businesses." He called for an end to what he described as economic chaos under Trump's leadership.

Later that day, Nadler commented on the composition of Trump's cabinet, expressing concern over its perceived disconnect from working-class Americans. He remarked: "This quote perfectly sums up the Trump Administration—a cabinet packed with billionaires and multimillionaires who are completely out of touch with the struggles of working class Americans."

On March 7, 2025, Nadler addressed a controversial appointment in the Pentagon involving Kingsley Wilson. He stated: "It is outrageous that someone with a history of promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories is now speaking for the Pentagon." Nadler criticized this as indicative of broader issues within Trump's administration.
