Rep. Nydia Velázquez, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 7th district, has expressed her views on recent actions and statements by former President Donald Trump through a series of tweets. These tweets highlight her concerns about Trump's policies and their implications for America.
On March 5, 2025, Velázquez criticized Trump's decision to withdraw from international agreements and organizations. She stated: "Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, WHO, and the UN Human Rights Council. Trump's 'accomplishments' are just a list of ways he is isolating America and making life worse."
In another tweet posted shortly after, Velázquez commented on Trump's stance against bureaucratic governance. She pointed out an inconsistency in his position by quoting him: "Trump: 'The rule of unelected bureaucrats is over.' Also Trump: https://t.co/xhDG4URoku"
Later that day, Velázquez addressed the impact of tariffs imposed under Trump's administration. She noted the difference in how such economic measures affect different segments of society: "For a billionaire like Trump tariffs might be a 'little disturbance', but for working families they will be a disaster."
