Rep. Marc Veasey, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas's 33rd District, recently took to social media to express his concerns regarding former President Donald Trump's tariffs. Known for his tenure in both the U.S. Congress and the Texas House of Representatives, Veasey has been vocal about economic policies that he believes negatively impact American citizens.

On March 3, 2025, Rep. Veasey tweeted: "They won’t punish China, Mexico, or Canada—they’ll punish YOU to the tune of an $2,600 for basic goods." This statement highlights his belief that the financial burden of these tariffs falls heavily on American consumers rather than foreign nations.

In another tweet posted on the same day, he stated: "Trump’s tariffs are a disaster. To borrow a certain convicted felon’s words, these tariffs are a 'YUGE' tax on YOU." He added that "The stock market has already plummeted," with rising prices and potential job losses as additional consequences. His use of vivid language underscores his concern about the broader economic impacts.

Further emphasizing his point on March 3, 2025, Rep. Veasey commented: "First, the stock market plumets. Next, the American economy. Make no mistake—this 'Trump Tax' puts America LAST." Through this message, he reiterated his stance that such economic measures undermine America's global standing and domestic prosperity.
