Suzan DelBene, a current U.S. Congress representative for Washington’s 1st district, voiced her criticisms of former President Donald Trump’s policies in a series of tweets on March 11, 2025. DelBene, who has been serving since 2012 after succeeding Jay Inslee, used social media to express her concerns about tax policies and trade decisions impacting middle-class families and business owners.
On March 11, 2025, DelBene tweeted: “Trump’s definition of ‘efficiency’ is letting tax cheats & wealthy donors get away with not paying their fair share while middle-class families play by the rules.” This tweet highlights her criticism of what she perceives as an inequitable tax system under Trump’s administration.
Later that day, DelBene commented on Trump’s tariff policy by tweeting: “Trump is doubling tariffs on Canadian steel & aluminum, making it more expensive to build homes, factories, & products like the planes we manufacture in Washington. Where are Congressional Republicans on this executive overreach that will cost their constituents more? Silent.” Her remarks point to concerns about increased costs due to heightened tariffs and the lack of response from Congressional Republicans.
In another tweet posted on March 11, 2025, DelBene stated: “Trump’s trade war is raising prices on families & making it harder for business owners like farmers to stay afloat.” This post underscores the challenges faced by businesses and families due to the ongoing trade tensions.
