Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 5th district since 2005, shared his views on several issues through a series of tweets on March 19, 2025. His remarks addressed economic concerns related to policies under former President Trump and highlighted the role of government workers and recent program shutdowns.
On March 19, 2025, Rep. Cleaver expressed concern over economic instability linked to former President Trump's policies. He stated that these policies are "raising costs on everyday goods and 'liberating' Americans from their hard-earned pensions." Cleaver criticized Trump’s tariff taxes, suggesting they would exacerbate the situation.
In another tweet posted later that day, Rep. Cleaver emphasized the importance of government workers. He remarked that “as government workers, we do not receive the same compensation as the private sector,” but stressed their role as fundamental to running an efficient government while serving communities without political bias.
Rep. Cleaver also voiced criticism against actions by President Trump and Elon Musk concerning social welfare programs. In his post, he claimed they have "recklessly shut down programs that increase access to nutritious school lunches for kids," impacting local farmers and vulnerable families negatively.
